Orientation Assembly underway


After a warm welcome from D&P President Pat Hogan and the introduction of this weekend's animator D'Arcy Martin, the assembly is now underway. D'Arcy is a longtime collaborator of D&P and his links with us go back to the 1970s. He is an adult educator and social activist and it is our pleasure to have him with us this weekend to guide through the many topics and issues that we will need to address this weekend.

The room here is packed and everyone is listening attentively to the messages sent from the Regional Assemblies. There are great ideas being expressed from embracing environmental justice to considering other areas to explore such as human trafficking, but with the caveat of always staying true to our mission of addressing poverty and injustices in the world. If you have any ideas or messages to add send them now!
