Week Two :: June 29–July 5
Uncommon Ground: Communities Working Toward Solutions
In an age of divisive posturing at the national level, are communities uniquely positioned to come together on the toughest issues, to find a way forward for the common good? We recognize the role of communities in effecting real change, and present a solutions-focused week of power and promise.
- Each day, we highlight case studies of communities at work, finding sustainable solutions to society’s most pressing problems.
- What conditions must exist for community stakeholders to engage one another, and who needs to be at the table? What’s possible when there isn’t a shared sense of community? Do differences need to be bridged in order for solutions to be found and sustained?
