Meet the Change is Pursue’s quarterly networking series. It is an open invitation to change-makers from across the spectrum: teachers and students, social workers and social entrepreneurs, artists and lawyers, investors and innovators, organizers, educators, and agitators – anyone and everyone seeking co-conspirators for activating their Jewish and social justice values. Each event presents the efforts of a featured change-maker while encouraging attendees to connect with one another around their own ideas, desires, and plans for making change. Previous Meet the Change events featured the Yes Men, Sara Horowitz, Ami Dar, Rachel Tiven, Billy Wimsatt, and Jenni Wolfson.
