THE CONFERENCE

“Without community, there is no liberation.” - Audre Lorde

Our freedom, our joy, our healing is deeply tied to our connection with one another! Join us as we gather in Boston this fall with leaders, groundbreakers, and path-builders from across the country who are dedicated to fighting for justice, cultivating shared spaces of healing, and designing new systems grounded in the joy of children, families, and communities across the country.  

Together we will share space to nourish our minds and hearts, restore and deepen our connection to ourselves and our communities as we continue to fight for our collective liberation.
