Join PACDC from 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT on Wednesday, June 16th and Thursday, June 17th for the 2021 Forward Equitable Development Virtual Conference.
Featuring:
- Keynote Conversation with Dr. Shakti Butler
This talk by Dr. Shakti Butler is an invitation for people to understand what is required to actually build a culture that reverberates with goodness, joy and the inclusivity of belonging. It will focus on understanding systems, how the collective body responds to generational trauma and what that means. What do we need to begin to heal individually and collectively and how is that healing tied to building radical imagination? Radical Imagination represents our capacity to build common cause and well-being with one another.
- Panel Conversation on Dreaming Big
If you could have anything you needed for your organization and community to be well, thrive, prosper, what would you ask for? What would be a policy or several policies you would advocate for, plan and work towards for bringing equity more fully into your community?
This roundtable conversation led by some of the country's most effective advocates pushing big ideas for radical equity help ground how their work evolved and what steps Philadelphia community developers can replicate or innovate.
Plus:
- Small Group Conversations
- Scavenger Hunt
- Gentle Movement
- Music
Full schedule and more to be released soon.
Presented in collaboration with City of Philadelphia Division of Housing and Community Development, NeighborWorks America, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
