The Cincinnati National Day of Racial Healing brings together leaders from diverse backgrounds and identities from communities across the Greater Cincinnati Area and worldwide to build relationships and work toward transformation. The one-day event is an opportunity to unite all people in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable city. The sessions offer spaces to acknowledge truths and collaborate to create meaningful change.
This year’s theme is inspired by a powerful vision of the All Means All Framework from PolicyLink.
