Rev. Dr. William Barber: 2021 Collective Impact Action Summit Keynote

<p>In this powerful address from the 2021 Collective Impact Convening, <strong>Rev. Dr. William Barber </strong>(Repairers of the Breach) issues a call to action to not return to the “normal” of pre-covid, and to recognize the systemic inequities that existed before and contributed to why the pandemic has had such a devastating impact on so many people and communities. Rev. Dr. Barber describes that what’s needed now is for folks to come together, and through the strengths of coalitions, work to challenge these systemic inequities that have existed for too long. <br /><br />Preceding this talk, poet <strong>Azura Tyabji </strong>shares her poem Allegiance. This session was held on April 27, 2021.<br /><br /><strong>Resources</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.collectiveimpactforum.org/blogs/1/video-and-transcript-opening-keynote-rev-dr-william-barber">Video and Transcript: Opening Keynote by Rev.
