Stephen Kearney and Julia Olsen on Community Organising

Bermondsey and Old Southwark Liberal Democrats invite you to hear Community Organisers Stephen Kearney (Henley by-election candidate) and Julia Olsen speak following their AGM. The AGM is at 7pm for 7.30pm and Stephen and Julia speak at 8pm. The AGM is for members only, but all are welcome to attend the talk afterwards.

From Bermondsey and Old Southwark Liberal Democrats:

Stephen Kearney and Julia Olsen are both members of the Liberal Democrats. During the late 1980s, they set up a charity that creates networks of individuals who take a role in changing the way public services are delivered and changing the priorities of politicians through social action.

In 1993 they trained in Citizen Organising with Ed Chambers and Ernie Cortez from the Industrial Areas Foundation in the States, the same organisation that trained Barack Obama to be an organiser.

This Thursday they will be speaking about how they could apply their unique organising process and training to equip the most energetic “agents of change” in the Liberal Democrats, to transform and shape British politics in the next 5 years.

YES WE CAN: Learning from the Obama campaign to change our communities and politics.

The South London Mission, 256 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3UJ

Thursday 4th December, 7pm for 7.30pm (AGM) and 8pm (talk)
