From Learning to Community, From Community to Democracy

My name is Aliz Pocsu­valszki, and I am a tea­cher and com­mu­nity orga­ni­zer. I spent ten years in pub­lic edu­ca­ti­on, whe­re I wit­nes­sed deepe­ning soci­al divi­des day after day. Unfor­tu­na­tely, fair edu­ca­ti­on acces­sib­le to everyone is not a right that can be taken for gran­ted; it is a goal we must work toward every day. 

Why am I becom­ing a CKA ambas­sa­dor now? 

We have just come thro­ugh a his­to­ric par­lia­men­tary elec­ti­on. Whi­le many may feel that deci­sions are made far away from us, I beli­eve that true democ­racy beg­ins after the elec­tions. It is not a sta­tic sta­te, but a con­ti­nu­o­us pro­cess of sha­red res­pon­si­bi­lity and acti­on. Now is the time for pati­ent, grass­ro­ots civic power buil­ding, the kind thro­ugh which we can crea­te a count­ry that is open and just for everyone. 

Why the Civil Col­l­e­ge Foun­da­ti­on (CKA)?

The CKA gives tools and know­ledge for active citi­zens, empo­we­ring them to advo­ca­te for the­ir own inte­rests. They work to ensure that every com­mu­nity can stand up for what is right and pass on the know­ledge they have gained to others. My Goal Thro­ugh my per­so­nal cam­pa­ign, I am sup­port­ing the CKA’s com­mu­nity orga­ni­zing train­ing and local democ­racy work­shops. Ple­a­se stand with me by mak­ing a donation. 

Let’s strengt­hen our beli­ef that, toget­her, we can build a bet­ter, more just country.
