SUMMARY:"Hope is Power: Pathways to Living Democracy" a Talk by Frances Moore Lappé 
DESCRIPTION:Hope is Power: Pathways to Living Democracy\nDoing Our Part to Sustain Democracy\nAre you curious about the intersection between democracy and sustainability? Don’t miss an extraordinary opportunity to hear from the renowned author and activist Frances Moore Lappé at Auburn University! \nIn her captivating talk\, “Hope is Power: Pathways to Living Democracy\,” Ms. Lappé will take you on her journey that started with addressing food scarcity and diet and led to unraveling the root causes of societal challenges. With her profound insights and compelling storytelling\, she will challenge us to see the world not “as it is” but “as we are\,” revealing the powerful filters that shape our perceptions and actions.  \nDiscover how private interests\, political barriers\, and disinformation impede true democracy and learn about inspiring pathways to empowerment. Ms. Lappé will share stories from around the globe\, showcasing democratic reform movements and state and city initiatives that energize and motivate democracy-strengthening action. \nThis is an exceptional chance to engage with a visionary thinker who understands the power of fact-based hope and collective action to create a better world. Whether you’re a student\, faculty member\, or community resident\, this talk is designed to inspire and equip you with the knowledge and motivation needed to make a tangible difference. \nTake advantage of this opportunity to participate in a conversation that could change your perspective and empower your actions!\n_____________\nFollowing the talk\, Ms. Lappé will sign books. Thanks to Well Red\, copies of three of her works—Daring Democracy\, Hope’s Edge\, and Diet for a Small Planet\, 50th Anniversary Edition—will be available for purchase at the event.  \nFree parking is available in campus lots after 5:30 PM. The closest locations are levels 2 and 3 of the South College Parking Deck\, the Draughon Library Parking Deck\, and the lot in front of Comer Hall. The Hotel at Auburn University has valet parking.\n______________\nThis year’s Sustainability Speaker Series is a collaborative effort between the Office of Sustainability\, Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities\, Academic Sustainability Program\, Department of Sociology\, Anthropology\, & Social Work\, Hunger Solutions Institute\, League of Women Voters of East Alabama\,  Master of Community Planning\, and the School of Communication and Journalism.
