About

the Event

Join us for On What Matters, a conversation series hosted by Ford's executive vice president for program Hilary Pennington, where social justice leaders share their big ideas for a more just world. Through these conversations we are building a social justice community and learning more about the grantees changing our world.

Our first conversation features Dessa Cosma, founding director of Detroit Disability Power and seasoned social justice advocate. Dessa and Hilary will discuss the importance of intersectional approaches to justice, what needs to change to get disabled people out of the bottom of every quality life index, and much more.

Join us live on the Ford Foundation social media channels. We hope you will submit a question through this registration form!

About the Event

Join us for the launch of Border Futures: A Guide for Impact Storytelling, a showcase of creative and movement projects and interventions, and a conversation. Border Futures was inspired by the brilliant work of artists, storytellers, and activists from the border region who participated in the Center for Cultural Power and the Reclaiming the Border Narrative Project cohort. The guide is designed as a narrative change tool that can be used to amplify the stories that advance the values and vision emerging out of the transformative practices in the United States-Mexico border region communities. Our goal is to highlight stories that reflect the dignity, truth, aspirations, and struggles of migrants and border communities. It is a reminder to audiences that we all belong.

This session is designed for border stakeholders, creatives, narrative strategists, and funders looking for ways to uplift and amplify the voices and stories in border communities that reflect a vibrant, diverse, and expansive vision of the United States-Mexico border region and its future.

Reclaiming the Border Narrative is an effort to penetrate and shape the national attention on migration and the United States-Mexico border by supporting authentic storytelling by affected communities on the cultures and socio-political dynamics that comprise the region. Ford Foundation is partnering with the Center for Cultural Power, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, and the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures on this initiative.
