Event Recap
More than 200 community members joined us as we used the power of policy, storytelling, and data to uncover and amplify the innovative solutions required to advance our community forward. This annual gathering of community leaders, activists, business, faith, and government leaders is a unique opportunity for multiple sectors to collaborate on addressing two of our region's most pressing issues. Those issues are systemic racism and poverty.
We heard from thought leaders, engaged in lively discussion, and participated in Solution Circles to develop specific strategies to reduce poverty and disrupt structural racism in Franklin County. We developed three practical guides from input and ideas presented at the three Solution Circles. Learning and discussion are important, but we must also take action! Check out the briefs below to take action.
