Anne Symens-Bucher, and Adelaja Simon will be at the Gandhi Institute tonight at 7 p.m. to discuss Active Hope in Oakland.

Do you ever feel hopeless listening to the news? Join us for a fun and inspiring evening with two social change makers from an intentional community in Oakland, California: Anne Symens-Bucher and Adelaja Simon. Based on the philosophy of author and teacher Joanna Macy, we will explore how discouragement, burn out, and outrage can be turned into fuel for activism and healthy engagement.
