The New Civic Path: Restoring our Belief in One Another and Our Nation
Rich Harwood is President & Founder of The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation and author of the new manifesto, The New Civic Path: Restoring Our Belief in One Another and Our Nation, which boldly lays out a new path forward by which Americans might come together, amid our real divides, and create change.
Join us for an energizing and inspiring evening to learn how a new civic path that starts in communities like ours can spark a nationwide movement to build more equitable, inclusive, fair, and just communities. And, ultimately, a stronger nation.
