Weaving a More Equitable Social Fabric
Thread is proud to announce a new forum for sharing inspiring ideas from exceptional leaders, thinkers, policymakers, and activists about how relationships across lines of difference shape the fabric of our communities, institutions, and public policy.
Keynote sessions and guided conversations with guest speakers from Baltimore and beyond will help attendees better understand themselves and others, the ways in which equity plays out across a variety of contexts, including public spaces, the workplace, school, family and relationships, and public policy. Speakers will illuminate ways to begin to make explicit and actionable connections for weaving a new social fabric.
