The 2019 Social Justice Summit
Roger Ebert once said “ the movies are like a machine that generates empathy. It lets you understand a little bit more about different hopes, aspirations, dreams and fears. It helps us to identify with the people who are sharing this journey with us .”
It is with a similar philosophy that we started the Milwaukee Social Justice Summit, a two day activation at Nō Studios and Marquette University on November 15th and 16th of 2019. The purpose of the summit was to bring together artists of different disciplines who use their talent and vision to create works that don't merely entertain, alongside activists, organizers and social engineers practiced in implementing real world solutions to social issues.
To our sponsor, partners, and participating organizations, we thank you so much for your contributions to the Social Justice Summit, 2019. Special thanks to The American Family Institute for Corporate and Social Impact, The Milwaukee Bucks and Participant Media, and of course, our many panelists and moderators for sharing your stories and your passion for change.
