A renowned organizer and activist, Heather Booth began her remarkable career at the height of the Civil Rights movement and was a leader in the most pivotal moments in progressive movements that altered our history over the last fifty years: from her founding of the JANE Underground in 1964, to her involvement with Fannie Lou Hamer and the Freedom Summer Project, to her personal connections with leaders from Julian Bond and Senator Elizabeth Warren. She is the subject of a very inspiring one-hour documentary available on Vimeo and Amazon Prime.
We are excited to have Heather to join us to share her perspectives on citizen activism and answer questions from participants. At 6 PM, attendees are invited to stay on the zoom, if desired, for optional small discussion groups.
