Join Black Women Organized for Political Action/Training Institute for Leadership Enrichment (BWOPA/TILE) for its final presentation for Cohort 7 of the Dezie Woods Jones Policy Fellowship Program, Wednesday, August 16th, via ZOOM, 6:00-8:30 p.m.

The public is invited to join the presentation and ceremony with Mistress of Ceremonies, Eileen "Mimi" Gazaway and special remarks by the Honorable Dezie Woods Jones celebrating eight fellows as they complete the final requirement of the four-month training program.

"Especially in the current environment that has emblazoned some to try to turn back the clock of social justice and equity, it is great to be able to make a substantive difference to ensure that we train women to move things forward, not backwards," said BWOPA's founding member and State President Honorable Dezie Woods Jones. The upcoming 'Let's Talk' presentation affirms BWOPA is in alignment with the sage community saying, "don't just talk about it be about it."

What is BWOPA/TILE Dezie Woods Jones Policy Program About? The organization annually trains fellows to focus on new policies in their communities that address BWOPA's core issues of Criminal Justice Reform, Health, Economic Development and Education.
