MMMC 2011 Plenaries and Workshops!

Every year the MMMC Organizing Team works hard to put together a retreat program that reflects the many ways iwhich wealth and class privilege are being understood and used to create change and build movements for racial, economic, and gender justice. The MMMC program gives participants the opportunity to explore everything from interpersonal and family dynamics around money to the intersections of race and class to the relationships between race, gender, class and wealth. Additionally, it will give participants the opportunity to develop and share concrete strategies for social justice organizing and giving.

MMMC Session Breakdown

Making Money Make Change consists primarily of several components:

Plenaries

These whole-group spaces allow MMMC participants to have a shared dialogue about various issues and experiences. Check out the description of this year's plenaries.

Workshops

These break-out periods allow participants to engage topics in smaller and more interactive settings. JUST ANNOUCED, our workshops for MMMC 2011!

Pods

Pods are small groups of attendees that will meet for an hour or so each day. Pods give attendees a chance to connect with the same people, re-visit conversations, check-in and build community as the retreat unfolds. All attendees will be assigned to a pod.

"MMMC 2008 pushed me to think critically about aspects of my life that I'd been socialized to ignore and to take some first steps to address the ways in which privilege, wealth, and access were playing out in my life. I've had some challenging conversations with family members and friends, started to change the way my finances are shaped, and begun to collaborate more intensely with people making change on the ground in areas that are important to me, and I have this community to thank for much of it."
