Antioch University Center for Creative Change Faculty Kate Davies and Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund Executive Director Thomas Linzey offered context on how individuals and communities got to where we are, and what opportunities are available for us to make changes.

The Seminar, our most lively one yet, left audience members feeling energized and motivated to take steps to transform their communities.
