TIPPING POINTS & SHARED PURPOSES
Challenges of 2024 and Beyond: What We Need to do This Year to Move Through Them Together
Our theme in 2024 encourages us to consider the big picture. Issues we face today affect us in more ways than the obvious. How do we encourage everyone to come together again in our hyper-polarized world? From civics education to artifical intelligence to fair redistricting and beyond, we explore how to find balance before reaching the tipping points.
