What is Thrive all about?
Thrive is a call to action for anyone who believes in democracy, public education, and community-powered change. The summit will feature:
Cross-sector collaboration and conversation
Actionable tools and frameworks for civic resistance
Global voices and local organizing strategies
A platform for diverse educators, advocates, and changemakers
Come lend your voice, your ideas, and your energy. Together, we are designing something that meets this moment—and builds for the future.
See you Wednesday!
