About this Event

The Sustain Dane Summit is a day filled with education, inspiration, reflection, and connection! This year our theme is Building Our Social Change Ecosystem. Our community is filled with talented healers, visionaries, guides and more. What’s your role? We’ll hear from keynote speaker Deepa Iyer, writer, strategist, lawyer, and racial justice advocate.

The Summit will also feature a panel of local leaders sharing their work towards a sustainable community, networking and conversation among attendees, and a Live Forward Award celebration. We will recognize the projects completed by businesses, organizations, and individuals from our 2022 programs. We can all play a powerful role in building our social change ecosystem. Let the 2022 Summit refocus your efforts on a healthy environment, a just economy, and equity and social well-being for all. Change happens when inspired people take action!

This year the Summit will be a fully in person program, held at the Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center.

Deepa Iyer | Writer, strategist, lawyer, and racial justice advocate

Deepa is a Strategic Advisor at Building Movement Project and Director of Solidarity Is, a project that provides training, narratives, and resources on building deep and lasting multiracial solidarity. She has worked at various national and local organizations with a focus on immigrant and racial justice like the South Asian Americans Leading Together, Race Forward, the US Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, the Asian Pacific American Legal Resource Center, and the Asian American Justice Center. Deepa’s first book, We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim and Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multiracial Future (The New Press 2015), received a 2016 American Book Award and was selected as a top 10 multicultural non-fiction books of 2015 by Booklist.

She is joining us in conversation about her new workbook and her tool for mapping our social change roles. In our lives and as part of movements and organizations, many of us play different roles in pursuit of equity, shared liberation, inclusion, and justice. And yet, we often get lost and confused, or we are newcomers to ongoing social change efforts and don’t know where to start, or we are catalyzed into action in the midst of a crisis in our community. Her keynote and workshop will help us:

  • Understand the different roles that create equitable and enduring social change
  • Learn about how to identify our roles through what we value and our vision for the future
  • Identify the systems of power we are drawn to take action to change
  • Recognize that working for change can cause fatigue, and learn how to sustain your efforts
  • Discover how to build connection with our teams, organizations, networks, and/or movements
  • Reflect on our goals for social change

We will also take some questions from the audience and have the chance for conversation among attendees about our roles in social change during post-keynote networking.
