The Unlikely Evolution of Darwin Ness

The story of a remarkable man who spent 47 years locked away – and then had a remarkable life until 90. This event will explore the nature of relationships, visible and invisible supports, how agency support worked, the Red Book and the Purple Book



Tuesday, April 13: 1:00 – 3:00 EST
Carol Blessing of the CCLD: Citizen Centered Leadership Program

Pathways to Citizenship: Exploring the Bridges & Tunnels that Connect Us to Community.  

This session will explore fundamental elements that challenge the well-intentioned agenda of inclusion with an invitation to examine internal belief systems, biases and practices that sustain an imbalance of power.  We will discuss the side effects of acting as though full citizenship is possible and plant the idea of growing local leadership, connecting to a national network and/or joining a global movement for social change.
