Join us for a conversation with the multifaceted writer and organizer Kelly Hayes. Kelly is the host of Truthout‘s podcast Movement Memos and the creator of Organizing My Thoughts, a weekly newsletter about politics and justice work, among many other things. She is also the author of Read This When Things Fall Apart, a collection of letters to activists and organizers who are struggling.  She will be leading a discussion on the wisdom she has learned over the years about organizing and movement tensions in moments of crisis. Having spoken with organizers from many different movements, she knows how hard it can be to take up the work of social justice and will offer some thoughts on how to navigate the hard times. Free and open to the public.

Organized by the Syracuse Peace Council. The Syracuse Peace Council is celebrating it’s 90 anniversary throughout 2026.
