DEMOCRACY & CIVIL ENGAGEMENT RETREAT with NAOMI WOLF!
Dear Friend:
Do you feel powerless in the face of government? Are you frustrated with health care reform that no one understands – wars that seem to go on forever – taxes that keep climbing – a devastating unemployment situation – bail outs for everyone but the average man? You can do something about it! You can take back control of your government! Become an informed citizen! Learn how to influence legislation and public opinion. Gain the skills you need to be an effective change maker!
For the past 10 years the Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership has been training women in ethical leadership and practical skill sets that they need to succeed. We are now offering our proven training methods to those interested in becoming informed and active citizens. Our co-educational DEMOCRACY 911 retreat will give you the know how to influence government and effect positive change. Join other concerned citizens and our incredible panel of presenters including Author and Activist Naomi Wolf, Bill of Rights Defense Committee Executive Director Shahid Buttar, Author and Founder of the Op-ed Project, Catherine Orenstein from February 18 - 21, 2010 for a dynamic weekend at our beautiful 100 acre retreat center in Ancramdale, New York.
Learn how to get your ideas published, generate legislation, make your representatives accountable and influence public opinion:
* “After three days with the amazingly accomplished instructors, I went on to publish over ten articles in one year -- a huge leap from having never published before." - Jennifer Gandin
* "At Woodhull, I was given the confidence to reach for the moon! I was exposed to and taught by those who are living their dreams, making an impact on society through the expression of their truest voices; people on a mission, working cooperatively with the common goal of empowering ALL, to aspire to lead in a compassionate, ethical manner at a time in the world in which our participation is desperately needed." - Michelle Riu
* “Without Woodhull I never would have had the know-how or courage to publish an op-ed. I have now published three.” - Mary Egbert
* “It was a rare opportunity though one typical of Woodhull, to benefit from another's wisdom and experience. Special workshops on television, radio, and print interviews demystified the mechanics and made me feel ready to march into that green room or take that reporter's call. Bring it on!" – Deborah Siegel, PhD
As Lincoln restated in the Gettysburg Address – “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
