Effecting change is never easy. Systemic change in order to address injustices is a formidable task made even more so when those affected have not found their collective voice. Please join us for this Lunch and Learn offering as we learn from Mr. Juan Soto. He will share his insight from decades of experience training future leaders within the Gamaliel Organizers Guild and his leadership responsibilities with the National Catholic Council for Hispanic Ministry.
