PROXIMITY CAFE with author Michelle Warren
Friday, November 1st, 7 pm  | Doors open at 6:30 pm

CCDA is excited to partner with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) to host a Proximity Cafe on November 1, 2019

Tickets are $5, get yours at ccda.org/SFCafe

Join Michelle Warren (CCDA Advocacy & Strategic Engagement Director, author of The Power of Proximity, immigration, education and human service policy specialist, and serves as a consultant for the National Immigration forum) to learn more about CCDA and how proximity and relationships can help us move beyond learning about an issue, toward restorative action!

We can see evidence of injustice all around us, whether in continuing incidents of racial inequality or in the systemic forces that disenfranchise people and perpetuate poverty. It's important to learn about the world's inequities and to be a voice for the voiceless in any way we can. But in an age of hashtag and armchair activism, merely raising awareness about injustice is not enough.

Michelle Warren knows what is needed. She and her family have chosen to live in communities where they are "proximate to the pain of the poor." This makes all the difference in facing and overcoming injustice. When we build relationships where we live, we discover the complexities of standing with the vulnerable and the commitment needed for long-term change.

Proximity changes our perspective, compels our response, and keeps us committed to the journey of pursuing justice for all. Move beyond awareness and experience the power of proximity.

The night’s conversation is based on her experiences and book, The Power of Proximity. Purchase tickets (only $5!) here.
