THE Spirit of Change Conversation Series
Relatedness is a basic psychological experience. We all need to feel connected to other human beings: to care and be cared for, and to belong. We believe that bringing our country together starts with meaningful conversation. Our goal is to reduce polarization and social bias, to increase the willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue, and create an increased understanding and appreciation for our differences and similarities.
The Black Women’s Agenda is stepping out to bring together communities to collectively find common ground and inspire change. We invite you to join (or even host!) a casual conversation in your community and be the change.
The Black Women’s Agenda is pleased to partner with Living Room Conversations to offer free training and support to all hosts who sign up for the Spirit of Change program. Living Room Conversations are a conversational bridge across issues that divide and separate us. They provide an easy structure for engaging in friendly yet meaningful conversation with those with whom we may not agree. These conversations increase understanding, reveal common ground, and sometimes even allow us to discuss possible solutions. By using them, we are creating a world in which people who have fundamental differences of opinion and backgrounds learn to work together with respect to realize the vibrant future we all desire for ourselves and our families.
Join us and be the change!

COVID-19
The Black Women’s Agenda endorses federal, state and local government public health warnings prescribed to mitigate the spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS~CoV-2) (formerly called HCoV-19 and commonly called COVID-19).
The assertion that coronavirus only threatens older people has been debunked. While data is rapidly being compiled, COVID-19 is trending across all age demographics because of the potentially high transmission from virus shed in asymptomatic patients and the ability for the virus to remain infectious in the air for hours and on surfaces such as plastic and steel for days.
