Let's Get It... Together- In This Place 2026

The BIG We is all about building a world where love is at the center, where communities can see and use their own cultural power to shape their futures; economically, politically, and in the stories we tell about ourselves. We do this work to create real, lasting space for connection, for healing, for folks to come together across differences and build something beautiful. Love is our north star. We’re here to build a beloved community where joy, safety, love, and abundance aren’t just dreams—they’re everyday realities. We move on two tracks: making sure that the people who’ve been left out and left behind get the investment and power they deserve, and strengthening the ties that bind all of us together. At The BIG We, we know that story and culture aren’t just important, they’re everything. They help us build deep relationships, create understanding, and move toward the world we all deserve, quickly and powerfully.

In This Place 2026: This is Memphis

In This Place is a citywide season rooted at Historic Clayborn Temple, inspired by the 1968 Sanitation Workers Strike. Through music, stories, and gatherings, Memphians build community, culture, and capital. Find your people and tap into what’s next!

What does it look like for communities to own what they build? Let’s Get It… Together is a gathering for people who care about Memphis and want to learn how neighbors can create shared wealth and ownership together. This event brings people into the room to explore how working collectively can turn ideas into businesses that support entire communities, not just one person.The event focuses on cooperatives, businesses owned and run by the people who use them or work there. You will learn how co-ops work in real life, why they help communities grow stronger over time, and what it takes to get started. You will hear from Memphians running cooperatives and from local funders who support community-led businesses. The conversation also introduces the Co-Op Opportunity for Inclusive Neighborhoods (COIN), a free 20-week program based at Historic Clayborn Temple that helps Memphians turn cooperative ideas into real businesses with access to tools, guidance, and funding.Let’s Get It… Together is part of In This Place 2026: This is Memphis, a citywide season of culture, community, and capital powered by The Big We, where Memphians gather to connect, learn, and strengthen the city we all call home.RSVP on Eventbrite and come learn how building together can work for you.
