Free and Lunch will be served. Venue: Ethiopian Embassy: 3506 International Drive, Washington, DC 2008 Presented By Continental African Society Roundtable Featuring Eliseo Neuman, American Jewish Committee, Africa Institute Henry Hailstock, NAACP and the 100th Anniversary of NAACP “Don’t Forget Darfur” Too often, African leaders, organizations and communities that bear the effects of US policies in Africa are left out of the discourse and solutions. This pioneering event brings together representatives of US institutions working on behalf of African causes, civil society actors and organizations, congressional staffers with the primary stakeholders’ voice - Continental African organizations and leaders in an interactive exchange on contextual understanding for self-empowering actions. We are honored to present the immeasurable work of venerable organizations that have braved many frontiers for African development, the American Jewish Committee’s African Institute, and a tribute to NAACP’s 100th Anniversary in civil rights. RSVP: continentalafricanlive.com. Call: 240-310-2886 For more information: http://continentalafricancommunity.org Background An indigenous public affairs program, the Continental African Society Roundtable (CASR) encourages and promotes African self-reliance because ultimately, Africa's developments require sustainable African solutions. From the mid nineties with mostly African immigrants in the US who desired to bring about positive socioeconomic and political change on their Continent, the CASR has evolved into a collaborative of concerned Continental African leaders and mutual aid organizations committed to engage in US-Africa relations as indigenous stakeholders in outcomes and to contribute to civil society developments in the African Union. Accordingly, CASR facilitates people-to-people exchange on common cause across a variety of contexts, which enable informed and experiential understanding among partnership communities and agencies. Just as the issues shape our common humanity and dignity, through direct dialogue, CASR fosters mutual learning about the mission, goals, outreach and accomplishments of each other’s work as leaders, institutions, and communities. By creating conducive climates that bring down communication barriers in order to identify common purpose, people can be empowered and encouraged to direct actions for sustainable solutions. ________________________________ Worried about job security?
