Create Change: From Apathy To Activation | Adam Luck | TEDxOklahomaCity

How do we change the cycles of social injustice, marginalization, and oppression? Adam Luck shares his thoughts after years working to reform the criminal justice system in the community he was raised. Adam echoes the way of abolitionist William Wilberforce to address incarceration, homelessness, and other significant challenges of our times. Adam outlines a simple path to those who look social injustice and extreme poverty in the face, and guides these courageous people to create change through the process of activation. Adam Luck is the Chief Executive Officer of City Care, non-profit organization seeking to inspire those willing to look social injustice and extreme poverty in the face and empower them to do whatever it takes to create change. City Care has built and manages 110 units of permanent supportive housing in Oklahoma City, operates the Oklahoma City day shelter in partnership with the Homeless Alliance, and oversees the Whiz Kids program. He is an Oklahoma native and left the state to serve five years in the U.S. Air Force as a Korean Cryptologic Linguist. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Global Security and Intelligence Studies from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a Master of Public Policy degree from Harvard University. Adam was appointed by Governor Mary Fallin to the Oklahoma State Board of Corrections and also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Center for Employment Opportunities, a national non-profit that provides comprehensive employment services to individuals with recent criminal convictions. Prior to joining City Care, Adam served as the Policy Director at the E Foundation for Oklahoma and the Oklahoma state director for Right on Crime, an initiative of the Texas Public Policy Foundation focused on criminal justice reform. Adam and his wife Sarah live in Oklahoma City with their four young boys and yellow lab.
