Building Movement Project, in conjunction with Civic Ventures and Clohesy Consulting, is conducting a survey of long-term nonprofit leaders 55 years and older about their plans for the future. We’re interested in hearing from both leaders still in their positions and those who have already left. The survey, which compliments a series of interviews, is designed to learn about the supports needed for long-term leaders as they plan and when they leave their positions.

On Sunday, January 15th more than 60 Detroit area women and girl activists and advocates representing a variety of causes and racial ethnic groups, gathered to celebrate the historic role of women in the fight for peace and justice. Hosted by the Building Movement Project Detroit and the M.L.K. Day 2012 Committee, the event honored five women members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Council (SNCC) with family ties rooted in Detroit. Sharing personal stories documented in the book “Hands on the Freedom Plow”, younger women and next generation activists were transported back to the pre- Civil Rights days of terror and oppression as experienced by African Americans, especially those who were caught in the exploitative share cropping system. The women spoke of the courage and vision of many of those community members who braved retaliation and the threat of death simply to register and vote.
