How much power do words, sentences, emails and more hold in the face of injustice? How can words lift up others, resolve problems, build community? How can we use story to bring people together and heal divides? In this unique Author Talk, authors Lynne Golodner and Elizabeth Gowing will discuss writing for a cause, how they use their writing voices and talents to right wrongs they see in the world, and how writing can be a method for resolving major problems. At the intersection of literature and activism, the written word can be an essential tool for social impact. Let’s explore the responsibility and the beauty of writing for change.
