Group experiences are moderated, facilitated and curated to create positive social connections. Our values are rooted in the reality of abundance, mutual respect and non-judgement. Differences are embraced. As a community we are a resource for what Heather McGeehee calls “The Solidarity Dividend,” Americans reaching across racial lines to work together for the common good—and securing better lives for us all.
