(Chelsea Update would like to thank Joanne Ladio for the information in this story.)
One World One Family is sponsoring the second part of the community discussion series that is aimed at increasing the overall level of social justice knowledge in our community.
This second part will be held on Wednesday, April 23 at 7 p.m. in the board room of the Washington Street Education Center. The theme of this discussion series is Making Sense of the Unprecedented.
As before, three recent articles will be discussed. These articles are available at no charge on the OWOF website on the community discussion page: https://owofchelsea.org/resources/community-discussion/ A zoom link is also there to enable remote participation.
Previously, we discussed what makes an autocracy and looked at illiberal values and their role. This time we focus on the rapid transformation of government entities that now impact (and will impact further) our community. We’ll explore what do we, as a community, consider public goods? Can we, through considering what author Bonnie Honig calls “public things”, define what it is we want to fight to preserve? Do we have the will and tenacity to construct a resistance like that described by Robinson?
The discussion will be co-facilitated by Dr. Renee Heberle and Jane Pacheco. Heberle is a professor of Political Science at the University of Toledo and Jane is the mayor of Chelsea.
