PROGRAM
Restore and Rebuild
How might we build a legacy for future generations grounded in principles of practicing love for our collective liberation and joy?
2022 VIRTUAL SUMMIT
This year’s National Community Leadership Summit, Crafting Our Legacy: Collaborative Action for Love, Liberation and Joy, will focus on the policies and advocacy practices needed to leverage our collective power to reimagine, strengthen, and restore the infrastructure within healthcare, education, legal, and other systems to promote wellbeing for children and prevent trauma. This has become especially important given the inequities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely impacted communities of color and low-income people.
Our summit will explore these important questions through two days of interactive panels, workshops, breakout sessions, and plenaries and a half-day Data Equity Symposium. Join fellow community leaders, change agents, and advocates to shape the conversation and design next steps.
