We invite you to celebrate the EFC’s impact and leadership legacy while connecting with other alums and supporters. This is an intergenerational gathering — and an opportunity to participate in the EFC’s work. Jason Warwin (alum 1989) and Deanna Mousseau (alum 2015-17) will be our Co-Emcees. There will be a video showing EFC’s impact and we will honor former Executive Director Margot Gibney and former Education Director Jane Sapp.

On October 10, we held our “Votemaxxing with EFC!” InterGen Café. As with every InterGen Café, the inspiration and empowerment lie in the conversations and community-building in the breakout groups. Inspiration was provided by several people including EFC alum Miles Rapoport and EFC Program Director Jesus Salcido. A Voting Resource List was shared.

We interviewed Belinda who told us about her Encampment experiences (as an Encamper and intern and beyond) and summed up what she learned by saying, “I learned the importance of staying curious and seeking truth through the lives of other people who experience it in different corners of the nation…. I’ve stayed connected with the Encampment since I started. I learned that community is the way forward and worthwhile as I continue to do public service work.”

We interviewed Peter Neufeld, Encampment alum and co-founder of the Innocence Project. He told us about his lifelong work for justice and how “the Encampment was one of the most defining experiences of my youth.” My summer in Kentucky played a significant role in my expanding involvement in social and racial justice work in high school, college, and beyond. I had to confront a lot of things about my own upbringing — race, gender, and relative affluence — and it committed me much more to wanting change.
