3 Important Upcoming Events
To Join Within 1 week of each other
Common Bond Institute is proud to be among a diverse and growing coalition of organizations across our country joining and working toward the same purpose of bringing people together from “all sides” to heal the divides and polarization in our society by tapping into the power of compassion and grass-roots solidarity.
The good news is that there are many such inclusive and mutually supporting initiatives, with even more continually being created both locally and nationally. Our true power for positive change is in linking our efforts and collaboration.
To contribute to a stream of events and initiatives occurring right now we encourage you to consider joining the immediately upcoming events listed here. More will be posted in the near future.
If you can’t join the Engaging The Other Conference or one of these other events in person we encourage you to follow the outcomes and emerging opportunities for involvement and support, and to consider joining those that resonate with you in some way – or to host an event or initiative in your community – to add your voice and energy. All who are drawn to this purpose are welcome.
