Community Action Partnership Equity Conference
Community Action Partnership
April 19-21, 2021

EQUITY SUMMIT OVERVIEW
The theme for this virtual event is “Centering in Truth, Activating Community Healing & Resiliency“. The national Community Action Partnership deeply believes that “othering”, particularly racism, rests at the nucleus of poverty in America. We also believe that equitable opportunities can only be built and sustained by centering ourselves in this truth. To that end, the Equity Summit will showcase voices and expressions that activate healing and resiliency in local communities. The Summit will take place April 20-21, 2021 and Pre-Summit Healing Circles will take place April 19, 2021.
