Something this BIG cannot be done alone. At Weave, we're all about strong connections, and this theory of change shines through in the AMAZING partners who have joined us for the BIG READ. To all of our BIG READ partners, THANK YOU. Without your support and commitment, the work of strengthening the social fabric of our society would be a little more, well, lonely! It's still not too late to join Weave and all of our partners on this journey! Visit weavers.org/bigread to sign up today!

Join American Public Square and Johnson County Library at Johnson County Community College (Polsky Theatre – Midwest Trust Center) Our very own Director of IPSR Donna Ginther will be a panelist at this event! Artificial intelligence is already reshaping education, politics, media, medicine, business and the future of work at extraordinary speed. As tech companies race to build massive AI data centers, citizens and governments scramble to respond to fundamental questions about ethics, power, privacy, creativity and Democracy. Will AI create prosperity and innovation or deepen inequality and social isolation? What impact will it have on the workforce? And how do we preserve human judgment, trust and connection in a world increasingly mediated by machines? Join American Public Square and Johnson County Library for a timely conversation exploring the ethical, political, economic and human consequences of the AI revolution and what it could mean for the future of American life. Doors open at 5:30 PM and the program will begin at 6 PM. There will be a post-event reception. Register In Person: https://lnkd.in/gfE-nmyp Register Online: https://lnkd.in/gfE-nmyp

Thank you, Listen First Project, American Public Square, Karissa Raskin, Jeffrey Abramson and everyone at the 2nd Annual Bridging Movement Summit! Last week we had the honor of joining some very inspiring people in Kansas City, MO as part of a conference that brought together researchers, academics, funders, national organizers, local practitioners and fellow storytellers to explore ways to build pathways forward to bridge divides in our current culture and society. We were so honored to be awarded with the Bridge Building Innovation Award alongside some other amazing films! Here’s hoping for another year of this amazing event!

@brandenpolk, director of activations at @standtogether, says we aren’t necessarily electing people we trust. Instead, we often choose leaders based on who we believe can help us and our families, without giving enough thought to the broader community.

How do we rebuild trust? According to Mike Abrams, deputy editor for Trust at @nytimes, this comes from the small acts that make the world a better place, like using your turn signal, answering your emails, and subscribing to news organizations. Full show link in bio!

“We have an inability to talk about the history of our country because it looks different for all of us.” Jummy Banjo, senior director of the Alliance for Social Trust at the @aspeninstitute, says we cannot build trust without first acknowledging that Americans experience our history differently and recognizing the harm that has been done.
