Everyday Revolution: Building a World of Respect, Dignity and Liberation with Ijeoma Oluo

In honor of Season for Nonviolence and Black History Month, COCC presents Ijeoma Oluo. 

Join acclaimed author and speaker Ijeoma Oluo for a powerful keynote conversation on transforming the world through everyday action. Drawing from her latest book, Be a Revolution, Oluo will challenge us to reimagine activism—not as a distant ideal, but as a daily commitment to respect, dignity and liberation. This event will celebrate the transformative power of everyday people working toward justice—and invites us all to take part in creating lasting, nonviolent change.

You can also sign up to receive access to the recorded version of this event. If you register for recording, you will receive a link via email several days after the event. 

2026 Season for Nonviolence at COCC is sponsored by First Story, Brooks Resources Corporation, Casey Family Fund of Oregon Community Foundation, Cascades Academy, Pacific Power Foundation and the Associated Students of COCC.

ASL interpretation will be provided.
