EVENT DESCRIPTION
Eh-den Perlove and Lily Claire Nussbaum met as volunteers for the Women’s March on Washington, NYC Chapter. Alongside 20 other women they coordinated fundraisers, ran community-building events, and ultimately brought thousands of New Yorkers to Washington, D.C., for the march. In the months that followed, the two remained committed to maintaining momentum within this new wave of activists. With the guiding belief that context and facts are fundamental to active resistance, they decided to create an accessible series of discussions and panels that explore the history and present state of our nation. Join them, along with a panel of grassroots activists and advocacy professionals, in discussing what it means to be an activist, and how to fight for one’s passions without getting overwhelmed or burning out.
