Urban & Rural Voices

Our panelists discuss what it means to listen and what it means to hear from people who live in disparate areas of the state. What are the similarities and differences when listening to urban and rural voices in North Carolina? Where do they align and where do they diverge?

Panelists:

Dreama Caldwell, Co-Director, Down Home North Carolina

Dreama J. Caldwell is the co-director of Down Home North Carolina, a grassroots rural organizing group working in small towns and country places across the state. Using her own lived experiences and uplifting the experiences of others, she is focused on building poor and working class people power and fighting for racial justice.
