With the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson eliminating the constitutional right to abortions and a flurry of restrictive legislation being proposed\, passed\, and enacted\, the work can be both physically exhausting and emotionally draining. But there is reason to be optimistic. \nJoin fellow Council Leaders for a discussion on the future of reproductive health and justice. The discourse surrounding abortion can sometimes feel devisive\, but reproductive rights is a conversation for all — one that includes issues of health\, equal opportunity\, justice\, and civic action. \nInspiring organizations are already finding opportunities to affect change\, such as Sister Song\, Collective Power\, Reproductive Health Access Project\, and Caraway Health.  \nThis Jeffersonian-style salon\, hosted by NationSwell Council members Tory Clarke\, co-founder and Partner at Bridge Partners\, and Beth Bengtson\, CEO of Working for Women\, is an opportunity to think deeply about how we might reimagine the future of reproductive health and rights\, and ask how we can be inspired by those already working in this sphere to continue to take action in thoughtful ways that drive change. \nThis in-person event is for leaders and activists with a strong interest in equity\, justice\, and human rights.

But what if we go beyond the melting pot and think of America at its inclusive best as… more of a potluck dinner? \nPotlucks are civic spaces that both embody and celebrate pluralism. They rely on the contributions of a diverse community. If people don’t bring an offering\, the potluck doesn’t exist. If everyone brings the same thing\, the potluck is boring. They respect diverse identities by enthusiastically welcoming the gifts of the people who gather. They facilitate relationships between people by creating a space for eating and socializing and surprise connections. And they cultivate in people the importance of not just the individual parts and the connections between them\, but the health of the whole as well. \nJoin fellow leaders at NationSwell for an in-person fireside discussion of what it takes to bring this vision of America from theory to practice. You’ll listen to a spirited discussion between Council member Eboo Patel and ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt\, rooted in Eboo’s new book\, “We Need to Build.” Together\, we’ll explore the actionable\, tangible steps leaders can take to move us from melting pot to potluck\, learning how leaders can build and support diverse institutions for equitable social change. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FEATURING\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Eboo Patel\nFounder and President at Interfaith America \nAuthor of ‘We Need To Build’\n \n Learn more\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jonathan A.

What are the dangers of complacency? And how do we get people to act in ways that benefit our community? This intimate discussion will also focus on the relationship between Philadelphia and Trenton and the cities’ unique history. \nThis event is for Philadelphia-area Council members\, who will enjoy a delicious dinner and conversation that will connect you with others\, open your world view\, and fill your cup with warm conversation and community.

But the proper functioning of our elections is at risk from a number of forces\, one of which is a national shortage of poll workers\, which has reached a critical level.  The traditional cohort of poll workers has an average age of 60 and their outstanding volunteerism has been badly suppressed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Election boards across the country have struggled to recruit enough volunteers to efficiently and effectively run elections and keep polling places open and running smoothly. America needs to recruit more than 1 million volunteers annually to administer election polling sites. We The Veterans is working to fill that void with its nonpartisan Vet the Vote initiative\, which seeks to recruit 100\,000 veterans and military family members to fill these vacant rolls and\, leveraging the credibility of this community\, help restore faith in our elections. \nNationSwell invites you to join Council member and We the Veterans co-founder Ben Keiser for a strategic advisory session to help further this effort. We are looking for leaders in the veteran community along with experts in public relations\, marketing\, coalition building\, and democracy activists to provide insights and actionable goals for the Vet the Vote initiative. \nBen will be seeking advice on how best to build a brand that generates awareness and public trust in this effort\, increase awareness about poll workers and what they do\, build partnerships outside the veteran and military community\, and reach unaffiliated veterans and military families\, with a focus on engaging with large corporate CSR and veteran ERG groups. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Advisee\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ben Keiser\nCo-Founder and Board Member \nVet the Vote \n \n Learn more\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presented By\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

Wade — the landmark 1973 decision that made abortion legal. The decision created chaos in its wake\, immediately triggering into effect a slew of laws designed to severely limit or ban abortion outright that had been drafted across multiple states in anticipation of the decision. In this post-Roe America\, millions of people — particularly those from vulnerable communities — will soon lose the ability to access a safe abortion. \nNationSwell and our partners at PSI invite you to a discussion exploring the fight for abortion access on another front– looking at popular culture as a powerful tool in normalizing taboo subjects. Drawing from experiences like gay rights advancing alongside LGBTQ TV characters and openly queer celebrities and the destigmatization of HIV through TV and Radio internationally\, we will look at the next frontier of moving popular opinion on abortion through narrative change. \nNationSwell Council member Jess Jacobs\, will moderate a panel focusing on how we can use entertainment and popular culture to shift the perception of abortion — stripping the issue of its partisan framing and refocusing it as an issue of individual rights and health care access. \nJess Jacobs is an award-winning actress\, writer\, producer\, and philanthropist-activist whose work focuses on centering female and femme experiences to further equity and justice. Jess will be joined by Gretchen Sisson\, a principal investigator for the Abortion Onscreen program\, studying depictions of abortion in American popular culture\, Samhita Mukhopadhyay\, author\, leader\, & pioneer of conscious media\, and Dr. Eva Lathrop\, the Global Medical Director at PSI Global who develops robust programs to address sexual and reproductive health\, legal abortion and post-abortion care.  Join these experts as they examine how we can go about creating a culture of acceptance and affecting\, lasting long-term change in how abortion is viewed. \nThis event is open to all NationSwell members and the general public.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presenters\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jess jacobs\nActress\, Filmmaker and Maverick Collective Member \nModerator \n \n Learn more\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n gretchen sisson\nSociologist\nANSIRH at UCSF \nPanelist\n \n Learn more\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n dr. eva lathrop\nGlobal Medical Director\nPSI Global \nPanelist\n \n Learn more\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Samhita mukhopadhyay\nAuthor and Former Executive Editor at Teen VogueFormer Executive Editor of Feministing \nPanelist \n \n Learn more\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n More on this topic from NationSwell\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This event is the second installment of a NationSwell series on abortion and reproductive rights.

Schools and systems are eyeing fall 2022 as an opportunity to continue the recovery process\, but the challenges in our public schools predate the pandemic by many generations. \nTo help contextualize and tackle those challenges\, NSC member Justin Cohen is on the cusp of releasing a new book Change Agents: Transforming Schools from the Ground Up\, which tells the inspiring stories of educators in five communities who have taken school improvement work into their own hands with striking results. Justin and his publisher invite you to join an intimate roundtable discussion\, to hear your expertise and guidance on how to leverage this exciting new work to re-engage educators everywhere about the work of transforming American public schools. Justin’s book makes the bold\, yet practical\, argument that educator-led transformation is the most promising mechanism for school improvement at scale … and that this sort of work is only possible through a dual emphasis on continuous improvement and racial equity analysis. \nMembers who join the roundtable will receive a confidential first peek at the manuscript\, which Corwin/Sage is readying for release in fall of 2022. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ADVISEES\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n JUSTIN C.

The event will feature opening remarks from Colorado Gov. Jared Polis\, the first openly gay man to be elected governor; will be moderated by Lauren Baer\, a managing partner at Arena; and will feature panelists Carl Siciliano\, founder of the Ali Forney Center\, Sam Ames (they/them)\, director of advocacy and government affairs at The Trevor Project\, and Janelle Perez\, civic leader & candidate for Florida State Senate.  \nAny members or allies of the LGBTQIA+ community are invited and encouraged to attend.

Mike’s organization has made huge strides in passing bills to ensure the inclusion of AAPI history in school curricula. But as Make Us Visible expands to more states\, challenges from best practices around governance to logistical issues such as registering as a nonprofit have arisen. \nAt this Strategic Advisory Session\, we will use Mike’s work as a case study on how we might advise and advance early-stage nonprofits creating a roadmap to successful expansion for other organizations like his. \nThis event is for Council members\, especially those with experience running nonprofits and an interest in supporting BIPOC community organizers. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n OBJECTIVES AND PRIMARY TAKEAWAYS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1.

This can be especially true for single\, working caregivers. As the most recent wave of the pandemic recedes and more people return to the office\, leaving less time for employees’ caregiving duties\, it is critically important that employers tackle this problem head-on. \nIn this Strategic Advisory Workshop\, NationSwell Council members who are simultaneously both parents and leaders will ask for your feedback on actionable principles that workplaces can employ to improve the lives of their caregiving employees. This event is for Council members who are CEOs\, people managers\, or in HR\, as well as any caregivers in the NationSwell Council. \nNationSwell Strategic Advisory Groups provide a great way for members to support each other\, build community\, offer advice\, and collaborate. This specific event is produced by the NationSwell Council Single Parents Affinity Group.
