Cracks in the Pavement Symposium
Thursday, November 6th, 2025 | Downtown Flint
During this symposium, we’ll highlight the ways democracy is practiced far from the halls of power, especially in places like Flint. Local community gardens, activist networks, nonprofit organizations, block clubs, and more contribute to forms of democratic association on the ground. We want to broaden our definitions of democracy to show how these organizations express democratic values in our community.
Keynote speakers will put these broader themes into context, while breakout sessions will illustrate how these concepts are already being implemented in our community and beyond.
The event is free and open to the public. Registrants will be provided with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Register today at: go.umflint.edu/cracks
Made possible through the Mellon Foundation.
