Seizing Your Moment: Finding Meaning and Purpose in Changemaking

In his new book "The Moment: Changemakers on Why and How They Joined the Fight for Social Justice," bestselling author and Glencoe native Steve Fiffer presents an oral history from today's social justice activists—many of them still under thirty years old—that is pitch perfect for these dissonant times. In this panel event, Mr. Fiffer is joined in conversation by three of the changemakers highlighted in his book: Don Katz, founder of Audible.com; Michael Strautmanis, executive vice president for external affairs at the Obama Foundation; and Clarissa Martinez De Castro, vice president for Latino Vote Initiative of UnidosUS. The discussion is moderated by Howard Rossman, founder and board president of the Chicago-based Civic Leadership Foundation.
