How Might We Sharpen Movement Strategy for Lasting Change?

Fall 2022 WIN Week
This Fall, WIN Week will feature the nation’s foremost social justice change and thought leaders across sectors committed to advancing intergenerational health and well-being and equity across the nation. To address these unprecedented challenges, WIN Week’s design is rooted in community, building non-traditional bridges, and changing the narrative, system, and structures to advance intergenerational well-being and equity.
“WIN Week’s underpinning is that to achieve lasting change, we first have to grapple with the painful legacies of the past that inform our current beliefs and reality. On the foundation of that shared analysis, we can create pathways for a more just future built on mutual abundance” said Somava Saha, founder of Well-being and Equity (WE) in the World and executive lead of the WIN Network.
“We see this as a precondition to building pathways for a more just, equitable, and inclusive society in which everyone can participate, prosper, reach their full potential, and contribute to that of others” noted Abeni Bloodworth, co-founder and chief executive officer, chromatic black™ which serves on the Core Implementation Team of the WIN Network.
In this edition we will explore the conversations happening at WIN Week.

WIN Equitable Economies Quarterly Meeting | |
|
An equitable well-being economy can be achieved! We are taking steps together to make this a reality. It is a living system built upon the basic goal of all people and places thriving together--with no exceptions. A well-being economy provides opportunities for freedom, voice, power, ownership, and fulfilling life over generations for everyone.
WIN, supported by WE in the World, has recently created a policy library sourced from communities and organizations across the network based on strategies to advance a more equitable well-being.
This session during WIN Week invites anyone who wants to work on a more equitable economy to come together to do that. A panel of speakers will discuss movement-building, multi-solving strategies. Special guests include Randall Johnson, Professor of Law, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Jordana Barton-Garcia, senior fellow, Connect Humanity, Laina Raveendran-Greene, Angels of Impact, and Bobby Milstein, director of system strategy for ReThink Health and Rippel and Visiting Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management and moderated by Somava Saha and Anne Ekedahl.

Equity is not a far-fetched concept. The WIN network has evolved over 3 years, working together to advance intergenerational equity and well-being. WIN believes that everyone should have the vital conditions needed to thrive.
For the past 3 years, WIN has and continues to change cultures and systems that perpetuate legacies of trauma, creating legacies that foster belonging and inclusion.
WIN continues to expand its network bounded by the WIN Framework for action and the WIN Principles.

Action Lab! The Right to Vote and Voice
| |
|
We will reflect on the legacy of voting in this nation. An equitable democracy requires all of our voices and the forces to suppress the voices of people of color are leading many communities of color to not be able to express this fundamental right in their democracy. In this Action Lab we prepare together to assure the right to vote and voice during election week and beyond.

The Life & Legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer | |
Marking the 105th anniversary of Mrs. Hamer’s birth we bring together a panel to honor the life and work of this extraordinary leader and delve into today’s civil and human rights issues with a screening of the riveting short documentary about Fannie Lou Hamer, featuring an artist talk with Academy Award Winning Aunjanue Ellis and the launch of the WIN Voting Action Cycle. “Is this America?" These three words were part of sharecropper-turned-change maker Fannie Lou Hamer's impassioned plea to defend the right to vote for every citizen regardless of race, creed, or color. It was a simple question with a complex challenge to the credentials committee for the 1964 Democratic National Convention. | |
