GRITS & GREENS
The SELMA JUBILEE 2026 Workshop
"Turning Individual Grit into Collective Green"
When we take the stage, we operate as one powerful, unified force. The "Utility Hustle" thrives on making us believe our fights are separate — but we know they are interconnected. This is where agriculture, law advocacy, disability rights, families of murder victims, and elder protection converge into one unstoppable movement.
