The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (“AADM”) advocates for racial and social justice and strives to combat discrimination through education and activism. We offer various workshops, programs, and advocacy support designed to help citizens protect their civil and human rights.
On Monday, July 29th, 9:30am-3pm, the AADM will host a Grassroots Organizing and Healing Conference. The goal is to create an experience that includes community building, organizing strategies, a healing space, and practices for effective grassroots organizing. During the trainings, participants will connect with other leaders in the field, and shared information to advance their skills for a transformative approach to organizing and healing.
