About
We are facing urgent local and global challenges, but too often, conversations are polarized, extractive, or inaccessible. Many people want to connect, contribute, and learn but don’t know where to start, or feel unwelcome.
We, an informal crew of thinkers, doers, and dialogue facilitators, want to connect with you!
