Centering Community: Shifting Power & Relationships Webinar Recording

“Nothing about us without us” has long been a rallying call of communities struggling for transformative change. But how good are we at truly centering community in our efforts?

Three leaders driving change in their communities and systems discuss what it means to center community in ways that recognize, respect and authentically engage people, knowledge and power. Panelists share what this looks like when done well and the common mistakes systems and organizations make when trying to engage community voice.

For change to be sustained, transforming our systems must center community and what matters to people.
