Politics of Community Care
We are facing profound hardships in this country—from pandemics to police violence to poverty. How we show up in this election will define who we are as a community and as a country.
CTZN SUMMIT is a place for us to gather in practice, build political muscle and harness our collective power to confront systems of oppression and co-create the future we all deserve. We are coming together to transform this moment into a movement of collective care.
