Representatives from the Direct Action and Research Training (DART) Center will be on the UM campus on Monday, November 28th at 5 pm in the Modern Languages Bldg, room B103, to discuss careers in the field of community organizing, and to interview graduating students (on Nov. 29th) with an interest in social justice issues affecting low income communities.
The DART Center is a nonprofit network of affiliates, founded in 1982 to assist in the development of strong, congregation-based, grassroots community organizations committed to democratic principles and values of justice and fairness. The DART Network currently consists of 21 affiliates spread throughout Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky, each with their own leaders, staff, funding base, and accomplishments toward justice at the local level. DART has fought and won across the country on a broad set of issues like joblessness, access to health care, living wage and job source agreements, police misconduct, improved public education, quality affordable housing, fair immigration practices, and dozens of others. We are broadening our power into new communities throughout the state of Florida by training a new generation of community organizers.
