MLK Day keynote: 'Acts of Compassion: Turning Care into Change'
Join us for this year’s MLK Day keynote panel, “Acts of Compassion: Turning Care into Change,” a conversation with leaders whose work reflects Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to respond to the fierce urgency of now with empathy, courage and meaningful action.
Our panelists are actively addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing our communities, including food insecurity, inequitable access to essential resources, and growing social division, through service, advocacy, and collaborative partnerships. Through shared experiences and practical insight, they will reflect on how compassion becomes a catalyst for justice, what it means to move from awareness to sustainable action, and how each of us can help build a more caring and equitable community.
Be part of this timely and inspiring conversation, and leave equipped to turn care into change, right now, when it matters most.
