What does it take to build a caring future? As federal policies evolve, access to basic needs is increasingly critical. Local organizations will share how they help community members access food, shelter, health care, and more—not just to survive but to thrive. Panelists will offer ways to connect mutual aid, public policy, and grassroots organizing to build stronger, more inclusive communities.

Presenters:
Tarshire Battle, Roots2Empower
Rochelle Lee, Southside Community Land Trust
Kevin Simon, Mathewson Street Church
