November Meetup
Join us on Thursday, November 20th, from 5:30-7:30 pm at CHOP in Providence. This November, we’re celebrating what it means to hold steady in our values while making space for joy. We’re also recognizing the dedication we bring to equity work and the importance of sharing these moments together.
Join us for a relaxed evening with food, laughter, and an opportunity to listen to the stories of our speakers. We’ll reflect on what keeps us grounded and share the joy we find in this work, surrounded by people who truly get it.
Come as you are—we’re glad you’re part of this community.
