Less Than a Month to Go! REGISTRATION NOW OPEN March 20, 2020 Clovis, CA MM 8th Annual Social Justice Leadership Summit Equity with Intentionality This year’s Social Justice Leadership Summit seeks to bring together those individuals and groups interested in taking social justice advocacy efforts to the next level by focusing on "praxis" or "intentional activism." In Pedagogy of the Oppressed Paulo Freire described praxis as "reflection and action directed at the structures to be transformed." Please join us as we work together to consider and plan for the implementation of efforts to ensure systems become more equitable. Keynote Speaker Dr. Enrique Alemán, Jr. Dr. Enrique Alemán, Jr. is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
