Violence Will Not Make Us Safe!

March is all about celebrating women all around the world and shining a light on all they do! To do just that, we’ve got 2 special guests:

Brandee McHale, Head of Community Investing and Development at Citi

Tella Walker, Interim CEO for the Nonprofit Finance Fund

Homeownership & Economic Justice

Economic justice is access to tools that build wealth, such as homeownership, education, and business ownership. When these tools are accessible to all, that is economic justice.

There’s a lot of power in accessibility and opportunity, even when it comes to the game of soccer. Sola Winley (Major League Soccer) & Bobby Akumah (Dare2Dream) talk about the impact that the game had on their lives and what they’re doing to bridge the economic gap in minority communities.

Electeds and New Yorkers Tackling the City’s Biggest Issues

How can you make your voice heard by electeds?

What does leadership look like to you? It’s very rare that you put the words “leader” & “vulnerability” in the same sentence. We’ve partnered up some amazing non-profit leaders to break down that typical visual of what a leader looks like. Leaders are every day people who strive to make change in their neighborhoods.

Leverage that Money!

All in for Community Health

Our one-day Ideas Summit convenes and connects grassroots community leaders, academics, elected officials, strategists, and community residents, working toward the public good of New York City.
