Dear {{Constituent First Name}},
Join us for the upcoming TRUST Network Stakeholder Meeting: Community-Led Early Warning, Community-Driven Early Action. In this session, we’ll share an update on TRUSTNet 360 — our developing early warning platform — and engage in a collaborative discussion on how our communities are recognizing and responding to rising hate, social division, and threats to cohesion. As always, your insights, strategies, and frontline experiences are essential to shaping this work. Whether you’re tracking local trends, responding to incidents, or building resilience where you are, we hope you’ll be part of this important conversation.
Here is the Zoom link for our next TRUST Network Convening on Tuesday, August 12, at 2:00 p.m. ET. Register here for the Zoom Link.

Team Democracy has a featured article about one of their initiatives, RAFT for America (Reuniting America by Fostering Trust). Participants are paired up with someone from "outside their bubble" for a transformative personal adventure in one of the most exciting and pristine places on earth!
"What caught my eye were two ordinary Americans, one from the far left, and one from the far right, who were paired up in a raft for an excursion down the Nantahala River. Five hours later, they were back in those same two chairs, this time leaning toward each other, laughing, joking, and ending the interview with a heartfelt embrace and a shared "Love ya, brother!" Lance and Rodney's differences were still there—all of them. But in the few playful hours they shared on the river, they discovered genuine joy in connecting with each other's humanity and in being open enough to hear and respect each other's experiences, personal stories, and ideas."
