Making Change: A Discussion on Economic Fairness and Social Justice

 

Friday, April 3, 2026 – Saturday, April 4, 2026

6:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 

Olin 102 and Lobby

Panel x Networking Night

Join Civic Ambassadors and the Bard College Center for Civic Engagement for an evening exploring the intersections of social and economic justice—from national policy debates to community organizing in our own backyard.

In an era of widening wealth gaps, rising housing costs, and working families struggling to make ends meet across the country, what does economic justice look like? How do race, gender, immigration status, and geography shape who has access to opportunity? And what can we—as students, community members, and engaged citizens—do to build a more equitable economy?

Our panel and networking night brings together organizers, workers, advocates, alumnus and local leaders who are fighting for economic fairness at multiple scales. We'll explore how national systems of inequality play out in communities like the Hudson Valley and beyond, examine the connections between local struggles and broader movements, and discover pathways to meaningful change wherever you are. Bring your questions, your concerns, and your commitment to building a fairer future.
