Citizens Leading With Hope and Impact

• In Event: From Despair to Hope: Prophetic Leadership in Turbulent Times

Short Description

In Stratford, Connecticut racial tensions rose to a tipping point a decade ago following the arrest of two African Americans. In response, the city’s mayor and a diverse group of citizens created “Citizens Addressing Racial Equity” (C.A.R.E.). Through community-wide dialogues about racial equity in policing, education, and town leadership, these citizens created shared action plans that continue to foster hope.
