    logo_arizonacommunityactionassocPhoenix AZ (July 29, 2013) – Gathering Justice, a full-day conference to explore issues, connect with partners and develop tools to create a “vision of justice in Arizona,” will bring together community members and families, experts and representatives from nonprofit social service agencies, local businesses, elected officials, and communities from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Phoenix Marriott Mesa Hotel, 200 N Centennial Way in Mesa.

    Registration is now open. Cost is $30. Scholarship sponsors are being sought for individuals from low-income communities interested in attending. To register or to become a sponsor, contact Luke Black at the Arizona Community Action Association at lblack@azcaa.org or call (602) 604-0640.

    “Our liberation from poverty, exploitation, violence and fear is a journey built on justice,” said Black, the conference organizer and a member of the Arizona Community Action Association team. “Our ultimate goal is to unite the voices of families and individuals who want to make change happen. We want to provide opportunities to connect and name a vision of the values we want in Arizona.”
