Why are we building a network?

The most effective change begins locally, alongside others who share common values. The network provides resources that leaders can use to organize around issues that matter to their community, and connects active community groups throughout the country to learn from and support each other.

The outcomes:

A network of friendly, connected and motivated communities that take action on issues that are important to them.

An antidote to hopelessness, isolation and disconnection through the social, physical and emotional benefits of community-building.

Momentum toward larger systems change by amplifying countrywide wins and acting together in moments of unity.
