Our special guest this week, D.G. Mawn, President, National Association for Community Mediation
will present on:
Creating the change you seek, through the lens of the 1964 Civil Rights Act
Individuals and organizations who want to engage and facilitate connections in their communities that reduce separation will continue to weave together the community fabric of compassion, resilience, and strength through the use of community mediation skills. This session will explore the call to lean in where there are disagreements, disruptions, and disturbances from the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the light this Act gives on the need to keep weaving. A brief historical overview will be provided of the community response to the Act, commonly called community mediation. The conversation will also focus on what are civil rights; what are our areas of weaving influence; and how to lead with people about purpose and practice through a process which strengthens community and institutional fairness, peace, and belonging.
