YALE PUBLIC VOICES FELLOWS ANSWER THE QUESTION: WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?
DALLAS PUBLIC VOICES FELLOWS BRING RACIAL AND SOCIAL JUSTICE TO THE FOREFRONT OF PUBLIC CONVERSATION
We at The OpEd Project have spent the last three months working with twenty amazing Dallas women, all social justice leaders who were carefully vetted by their predecessors, the 2015 and 2016 Dallas Public Voices Fellows, and key stakeholders throughout the city. Having achieved more than fifty concrete successes of thought leadership in just three months, their voices have become a meaningful part of the national dialogue–most recently with this collective stand around the death of Balch Springs teen Jordan Edwards.
We are honored to share their work below, and be a part of their efforts to bring racial and social justice to a fragmented but much loved city.
Many thanks to the Boone Family Foundation for making this possible.
