You are invited to join San Francisco Opera for the Beyond Innocence Symposium on Friday, May 31st, 12-5:30, in the Taube Atrium Theater, followed by a reception 5:30-6:30pm. This urgent day-long convening will tackle topics including: full circle advocacy (from grassroots to legislative) to prevent violence in our neighborhoods; community vitality, resilience, and healing; and how trauma may be thoughtfully depicted on stage, screen, and in music, from opera to hip-hop. Presented in partnership with Collective Impact, Community Arts Stabilization Trust, GIFFORDS Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Live Free USA, Lumahai Productions, UCSF San Francisco Wraparound Project, and the William James Association, the Beyond Innocence Symposium will feature prominent voices such as Pastor Mike McBride (Live Free USA), Sheryl Davis (San Francisco Human Rights Commission), Mike McLively (GIFFORDS), and moderators W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America) and Mina Kim (KQED).
