If you want to attend the seminar or take part in it, you must make sure that you understand at least the main points of the report. If you don't understand something, don't worry, contact specialists with request write my nursing paper for me (or other questions).
Louise will continue reading, speaking and offering Undoing Silence workshops throughout the United States to encourage a genuine grassroots movement for change. A charismatic teacher, trainer, organizer, and speaker, her work helps citizen activists write as part of actions in the world.
Recent clients include tenant activists stopping foreclosures, the City of Cambridge, foundations in Boston and San Francisco, Oxfam Canada partners in the Horn of Africa, and a chapter of the Sierra Club. Workshops, tailored to the needs of each group, focus on greater comfort and confidence in the writing process, a more powerful “voice” in writing, and strategies for reaching out to specific audiences. They include formal and informal writing activities and the chance to give and receive nonjudgmental feedback. To arrange a workshop, contact
If you’re in the Boston area, you might consider joining the Social Justice Writers Group, a project of the National Writers Union that grew out of an Undoing the Silence presentation. This group meets monthly on Sunday afternoons for energizing and support. Contact .
In the Bay Area, a women’s writing group that meets monthly with Louise sometimes has room for new members. Contact
