Christopher DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 10\n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm CDT \nWhat might racial healing look like for the movement to connect children and nature? \nJoin Dr. Gail C. Christopher and daughter\, author Heather McGhee for a stirring conversation on the impacts of systemic racism seen in the distribution of parks\, equitable access to green space\, and support for outdoor learning opportunities. Two of today’s most insightful and influential thinkers offer a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone—not just for people of color.\n \nFREE. Everyone is welcome. \nThis program will not be recorded for public distribution or viewing on demand and is only available in real time. Pre-registration is required.

What if we were to tap into the power of collaboration to bring groups of cities together for greater impact? We believe there is untapped potential for state and regional collaboratives working closely with city governments to leverage funding\, advance policies\, and share knowledge to bring nature’s benefits to more children. \nThe workshop is a prerequisite for application to the CCCN State & Regional Cohort\, a 26-month engagement that includes technical assistance\, funding\, and peer learning for select regional organizations and collaboratives to support regional and state-wide strategies that engage municipal leaders in increasing equitable access to nature.

Addressing climate change\, health inequities\, and disparities in access to nature will require transformational change in our policies and systems. We cannot have healthy people without healthy places\, and we cannot have healthy places without a thriving natural world. \nThriving Together: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery and Resilience in Communities Across America presents a unifying framework for action that 1) describes what it will take to transform our inequitable systems; 2) captures our shared values and commitment to equitable well-being; and 3) frames decisions within the context of a clear\, measurable goal: all people and places thriving\, no exceptions. \nThis interactive workshop will introduce the core components of the Thriving Together framework. Attendees will deepen their understanding of the framework through dialogue\, a practice that bridges difference and builds civic muscle. Attendees will leave the workshop with a set of tools and resources to begin to explore transformational change in their organizations\, communities\, or networks. \nExplore Thriving Together: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery and Resilience in Communities Across America: Read more \nCost: $45 general / $30 C&NN members (Not a member?
