The Foundation for Systemic Change (FSC) exists to advance justice and equality around the world, driving change that produces comprehensive, sustainable – not episodic – impact.
American Agitators World Premiere - San Jose, CA
Join the Foundation for Systemic Change on Systemic Change for the world premiere of a its new documentary, American Agitators, on Sunday, March 16 at the California Theater in San Jose.
To inspire a new generation of activists to organize for systemic change, American Agitators illustrates how collective action can combat racism, bigotry, and greed. Fred Ross Sr.’s groundbreaking organizing efforts carried on and expanded upon by organizers improved the lives and livelihoods of thousands by focusing on systemic change.
Telling the story of organizers and community leaders across the country will demonstrate strategies we can use to mobilize. As we witness growing and corrosive divisiveness, the lessons learned from Fred Ross Sr. and Jr., and the ways they can be applied to relieve today’s injustices, are more important and relevant than ever.
