Masterclass in Activism with Chloë Cheyenne

The Center for Racial Justice proudly welcomes Chloë Cheyenne for our 2024 Masterclass in Activism event: A Conversation on Social Justice Activism in the Digital Age. Chloë Cheyenne will be in conversation with Christian Davenport, PhD about COMMUNITYx, a digital platform for activism, founded by Cheyenne, that connects like-minded changemakers to take collective action on social justice-oriented causes. COMMUNITYx addresses the gap between information and action, by creating a space where people can talk about real issues that matter and mobilize to actually do something about them, all in one space.

A catered reception will follow in the Becky Blank Great Hall.
