We recognize that the current health crisis has exemplified societal shortcomings and we hope to support positive social change and see our community come out of this pandemic stronger than before. We host community discussions focusing on relevant pressing issues, moderated by community leaders, with a panel of educators, activists, local officials, artists, service providers, and other community members with expertise on the issue at hand.
If you or your organization are interested in participating in a future panel discussion or you have suggestions for events, please contact Jesse Silva at silvaj@santacruzpl.org or 831-427-7700 x 7669
