Five Good Ideas on advocating for change from the frontline
March 26 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Free
Workers on the frontline are the most connected to the everyday realities of systemic poverty and the myriad ways that policy gaps and loopholes manifest as harm. Yet, frontline workers are also largely excluded from conversations at the political level, let alone included — alongside with people with lived experience — in the development of policy that impacts poor people. Working on the frontline should fit naturally with advocacy work, but there are numerous challenges to maintaining a balance between these activities — let alone being able to do both effectively. Diana Chan McNally, a community and crisis worker in Toronto’s downtown east side, will share her insights into her praxis as a frontline worker and an advocate, including the successes and challenges she’s faced in advocating for change for homeless and underhoused people.
