ICLT is proud to present our 7th DEI+ training with Lexi Coburn.
As we enter another Trump Administration era, laced with higher stakes and lower stability, the time has come for us to look to our past for possible answers for our collective future.
‘From the New Deal to the Field’ is a new, conversational training created to address the intersection of class, privilege and shared humanity as to implement tactics and strategies with current activists for the fight we have right now and into the future.
Part history lesson and part training, ‘From the New Deal to the Field’ examines the work of Eleanor Roosevelt, her social justice journey and the society of reformers she surrounded herself with leading up to the New Deal in the 1930’s.
We’ve invited Kristen Grimm, the founder of the Eleanor Roosevelt Society: A Traveling Lecture Series, to be our guest during this training. Kristen and Lexi will take you on a journey of learning how Eleanor Roosevelt used her position as First Lady to go into some of the most economically disadvantaged areas in the United States to this current time as the policy and social foundations of the New Deal are rapidly eroding before our eyes.
We encourage all levels of activists to join, from people who have been knocking on doors since 2017 and those of you who have just joined - there is no frame of reference needed, as this session will help us all understand together where we’ve been, how we got here, and what we can do build us back together again.
