"Decolonizing Wealth," Author Talk with Edgar Villanueva 

(Tuesday, November 10 from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. EST) What if wealth could be used to connect, heal, and restore? Edgar Villanueva, globally-recognized expert on social justice philanthropy and award-winning author of Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance, seeks to answer these questions in his bestselling book offering hopeful and compelling alternatives to the dynamics of colonization in the philanthropic and social finance sectors. Villanueva will speak via a Zoom lecture as part of the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning’s (CCEL) Social Change Series, which highlights monthly a different form of civic engagement that contributes to social change. November’s theme is “Philanthropy,” and Villanueva will offer strategies that attendees, particularly young people engaging in philanthropy and other social change processes, can utilize to combat systems of oppression and advance justice, reciprocity, and equity. The discussion is free and open to the public, and registrants will be emailed Zoom connection details closer to the event. Register here: http://cglink.me/r880107
