TEDxSantaCruz

TED is taking on carbon: watch it live on 10:10:2020 https://countdown.ted.com/

It has been a challenging, painful, watershed month in America as our nation takes to the streets to protest police brutality against black citizens in solidarity with the unequivocal statement that Black Lives Matter. TEDxSantaCruz stands with BLM, and supports the movement's collective voice to ensure a more equitable, just future. We are proud of our county as thousands of diverse Santa Cruzans engage in peaceful protest as a display of unity and as white America participa...tes in difficult conversations that require self-awareness, acknowledgment, deep listening and a commitment to do the work of change. It is with the intention of compassion, love, and the pursuit of a more perfect union that we share this talk from TEDxSantaCruz 2019: The Art of Hope. We hope it brings you some light. Iraq War refugee Hamza Al Haidari @haidarihamza came to America seeking a vision of hope for a peaceful, loving future. Now a proud Santa Cruz resident, Hamza spends his leisure time traveling the country to educate and ensure Americans that Different Is Not Dangerous. #blacklivesmatter #santacruz #tedxsantacruz #differentisbeautiful #differentisnotdangerous #tedx #tedxtalks2019 #tedxspeaker
