Critical hope is where critical analysis and agency/action meet. Senior leaders are looking around and wondering how to move forward when it is so tempting to give into despair or toxic positivity.
Join us on Tuesday to get grounded, inspired, and moving forward.

Also, where is this media attention when trans women and women of color are murdered? Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance and we have wall-to-wall coverage of this trial while members of Congress are banning trans people from using the bathroom.
