Participants will listen to the 9-part The Sum of Us podcast series prior to attending this in-person discussion. The event will provide a space for thoughtful conversation, reflection, and shared learning. Together, we will explore key themes from the series, including systemic inequality, the impact of policy decisions, and the power of collective investment.
