Implementing a Community Intervention to Promote Social Justice and Advocacy: Analysis of a Town Hall Meeting on Race, Justice, and Peace (original) (raw)

This paper analyzes the outcomes of a series of town hall meetings focused on addressing racism and social injustices, inspired by an international conference in Durban, South Africa. The meetings aimed to empower participants—particularly those experiencing oppression—to share their experiences and suggest solutions, thereby promoting social justice and advocacy. Findings indicate that this format fostered hope and collective action among mental health and education professionals to combat injustices within their communities.
