SiX National Conference 2024
Thursday December 12, 2024 1:15pm - 2:30pm EST
How do we move past electoral cycles to ensure that real change is felt by the communities who need it most? More so than any particular civic engagement strategy, a burgeoning practice of collaborative governance holds the greatest promise of giving people the power to truly drive meaningful change. Across the country, policymakers, advocates and grassroots leaders are employing collaborative governance to build lasting power and to win justice for their communities. This is the first of a two-part, repeating series in which speakers will share inspiring stories of this new practice at work, giving the audience glimpses of a future political reality they will find irresistible—one in which intersectional problems are met with intersectional responses, and in which the people most impacted by policy have true power in shaping it.
