About the instructorUrban Rural Action works toward a more peaceful, democratic republic by bringing Americans together across divides to tackle our country’s most urgent challenges. In our Uniting for Action programs, participants, called Uniters, work across ideology, race, religion, age, geography, and other differences to address a local challenge in partnership with anchor community institutions. We also strengthen civic participation by providing accessible, memorable, and interactive workshops where individuals and organizations enhance their ability to navigate conflict, take collaborative action in their communities, and strengthen community safety. Senior Director Lisa Inks, based in Indianapolis, and Executive Director Joe Bubman will lead this interactive workshop.
