August Calendar
OUR CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR AUGUST 2020
In order to join any of our sessions throughout August, all you need to do is register for the Global Community. You can do so as a Friend for free or join as a Member for an annual subscription. Each month, we’ll be exploring a different sub-theme, under our overall theme of Accelerating Change. In August, we’re focusing on People Power.
The Black Lives Matter movement. Extinction Rebellion. Prodemocracy protests in Hong Kong. Eight million people fighting to save the Arctic. The People are back, and they are the greatest resource you have! Together we will explore how to shift your resource mobilisation work to tap into the power of an activist public.
Take a look at what’s in store for August, exclusively for Friends and Members of the Resource Alliance Global Community. In August, we’re making our Plenary and Big Conversations available to everyone within the community (usually for Members only).
