WNPJ Fall Assembly
media release: Get into some "Good Trouble" at the WNPJ Fall Assembly! On Sunday, November 13, from 1-4 pm WNPJ will host our annual Fall Assembly in Milwaukee (and via zoom). Each year we take this time to bring individuals and organizations together, to set the vision for the upcoming year, to honor the effort of peacemakers and peace builders…and to get into some “Good Trouble”.
Marquette University, Clark Hall, Rm 111, 530 N. 16th St, Milwaukee (hosted by the MU Center for Peacemaking – a WNPJ member organization!)
Theme: Abolition: Addressing the Root Causes of Violence with special guest speaker Angela Harris,* First Grade abolitionist Teacher at Milwaukee Public Schools.
Inspired by the work of many of today’s Abolitionists, it is our hope to share their work and to uplift the narrative.
To help us begin to build a shared understanding of abolition, here is an interview with Derecka Purnell and Trevor Noah on her book Becoming Abolitionists and her understanding and the need for abolition today.
