Former Lindy Center leader Sarah Resanovich graciously spoke with us about what she’s doing today and how her Lindy Center experiences contributed to her path after college.

She told us Lindy was a “really helpful connection point” and that the skills she learned doing voter engagement contribute to her skills and approach now as a researcher.

We’re grateful to Sarah for the insights - if you want to be featured in the future, reach out!

For this , prolific writer and liberatory educator bell hooks shares the importance of having a goal in civic engagement. It's not enough to just identify issues in our communities - we also have to envision the community we want and plan how to get there.

About bell hooks (1951-2021): hooks was an American Author, Activist, Feminist and Scholar. Born Gloria Jean Watkins, she took her pen name after her Great Grandmother, Bell Blair Hooks, and decided to spell it in all lowercase to focus reader’s attention on her books rather than her identity. hooks published over 70 works throughout her career ranging from film to Children’s books. This quote is from her 2003 book, “Teaching Community: a Pedagogy of Hope.”
