Fighting Disasters: the Power of Community Justice and Participatory Action Research
Join us from Zimbabwe where a collective of community justice advocates from around the globe will gather to share stories of resistance and system transformation from the grassroots. Panelists will be together in Zimbabwe to discuss the ways they use participatory action research and legal empowerment to address rising disasters—from climate change to the pandemic—in the building of healthier, more inclusive worlds. This event will be held both virtually and in-person (in Zimbabwe). Participants from around the globe will have the chance to interact and engage in this important conversation.
