In this talk Loretta J. Ross invites us to call others in, rather than call them out.

Fighting against oppression and injustice are the dues we pay for the privilege of being conscious and we are honoured to be able to challenge it with great responsibility. We begin to build a unified and strategic human rights movement that weaves our strengths together, that uses our differences as a platform for modelling a positive future built on justice and the politics of love, rather than a return to the past based on the politics of fear and prejudice. However, to create this movement we need to make a commitment to recognise and support each other – Calling People in rather than Calling them Out. Professor Ross will talk about how we can transform the Calling Out Culture into a Calling In Culture in order to build a united movement for human rights.
