EMAIL OUTREACH (copy/paste into a new email)

Hello (First Name),

I wanted to personally reach out and invite you to the 4th Annual Kennedy Forum Meeting on January 16th in Chicago, IL. As someone closely affiliated with The Kennedy Forum, I know how powerful these convenings can be, and this year will be no different. The focus this year is of critical importance: justice.

“Bending Towards Justice: A Summit for Mental Health Equity” will address what true justice looks like for people with mental health and addiction challenges, how far we are on the arch to equality, and address the question Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. posed fifty years ago – “Where do we go from here?”

There is an impressive line up of speakers this year. Among them:

  • Hon. Arne Duncan, former U.S. Secretary of Education
  • Common, hip hop recording artist, actor, poet and film producer
  • Chirlane McCray, the First Lady of New York City
  • David Axelrod, former Chief Strategist and Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama
  • David Brown, Dallas Police Department veteran and correspondent for ABC News
  • Mark Holden, SVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary of Koch Industries, Inc.
  • Hon. Patrick Kennedy, Former Congressman and Founder of The Kennedy Forum
  • Tom Arnold, writer, producer, and actor
  • Tim Shriver, Co-founder, Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL); Chair, Special Olympics International
  • Susan Burton, founder of A New Way of Life Reentry Project (ANWOL)

All the best,
