National co-chairs Tamika D. Mallory and Bob Bland will take the stage at the Montante Cultural Center at 7:00 p.m. for a lecture entitled “Building Trust: Organizing for Social Justice.”
Mallory and Bland were two of four national co-chairs of the Women’s March held in Washington, D.C. on January 21, 2017.
