Inaugural Forum
Advocacy and Community Planning:
Past, Present and Future
Advocacy Planning began in the 1960's when urban planners joined the Civil Rights movement to fight community displacement. Today advocates for social and environmental justice work in a broad array of disciplines, including social work, public health, urban policy, and the social sciences. Speakers from Boston, New York and Los Angeles will explore new issues and approaches to advocacy.
