We mourn as a country
The events transpiring in our country this past week are painful. The anger, hatred and divisiveness is an ongoing problem. We are committed to bring a platform for those who want a voice. We are committed to inspiring meaningful and lasting change.
We invite you to participate in our Town Hall meeting on July 1, 2020 and to continue the hard work that comes after the immediate outcry and protests have ceased.

In addition to our fundraising efforts, we encourage you to join our weekly Webinars. Our topics have generated a lot of interest and we continue to explore additional ways to support our Network during this crisis. We hope this forum will create a supportive environment for everyone in our Network and beyond.
New Schedule:
As a result of many states opening up some of their operations as well as the fact that many of us are “Zoomed-out” or turning into “Zoombies“, we have adjusted our schedule going forward. We are glad that we were able to serve so many organizations as we went through the initial stages of the COVID-19 crisis.
