We're gathering a delegation to travel to Selma, Alabama, March 6–March 10, 2025, for the 60th Anniversary of the Selma Bridge Crossing. This unforgettable weekend includes programs, activities, and opportunities to connect with activists and communities continuing the fight for civil rights. Scholars in residence will help us reflect and contextualize Jewish organizing and Black organizing traditions and solidarity in the ongoing fight for a truly multiracial American democracy. You'll have the opportunity to participate in the Selma Jubilee programs offered by Selma leaders, civil rights, and democracy organizations and of course the Bridge Crossing.
Overview of Return to Selma with the Workers Circle General Delegation.
Who: Adults 18 and over who are members of the Workers Circle's activist community.
Program Cost: $450 per person, which includes most meals, programming with scholars-in-residence such as Lilliane Kshensky Baxter, PhD, Dr. Josh Parshall, and Workers Circle consultant, Anthony Russell, admission to the Equal Justice Initiative Legacy Museum and sites, Workers Circle t-shirt and hat.
Transportation Cost: $325 for ground transportation to events in Selma/Montgomery throughout the trip; it does not include travel from Atlanta airport. The bus will depart from Montgomery Airport at 4:30pm and return you to Montgomery Airport, leaving the hotel at 11:00 AM ET. For those flying in/out of Atlanta (where flights are more frequent and usually less expensive), there is a shuttle every hour (2 hours long) between Atlanta and Montgomery airports for $81 each way if booked online. If you prefer to rent a car and drive yourself, you can opt out of this ground transportation. Do keep in mind that there is more limited Uber and Lyft service in the Montgomery/Selma area than you would find in a major metropolis.
Accommodations: The Workers Circle has reserved a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn in Selma, Alabama. Room costs range between $229-$242 (including tax) per night depending on beds available.
Food: Breakfast is included in your hotel rate. Dinner for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. as well as Friday lunch are covered as part of the delegation cost. We will have a vegetarian option at all meals. Due to limited availability in Selma, we cannot guarantee gluten free or vegan options.
Activity Level: You should be prepared for a lot of standing and walking around in the Equal Justice Initiative and in and around Selma/Montgomery. The region can be quite hot in March. Most activities will take place away from the hotel and you will not be able to travel back and forth to the hotel easily.
