SUMMARY:October Community Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to register to join!\nThe October Community Roundtable will be on Saturday\, October 18 at 11 AM. We will chat about community issues that are on our hearts and minds. \nIn a time when online echo chambers deepen division and disconnection\, coming together face-to-face is more important than ever. The Community Roundtables offer a space to share perspectives\, make sense of what’s happening in the world\, and remain connected to one another. \nThis series will be at the Gandhi Institute on the third Saturday of each month at 11 AM – 1 PM EST. \nEach session will focus on open dialogue or specific topics that matter to the Rochester community—some selected by Gandhi Institute staff and others chosen by participants based on pressing issues and events. Through open conversation\, we cultivate understanding and plant the seeds for collective action—whether by strengthening existing efforts or inspiring new initiatives. Join us as we listen\, reflect\, and build a more connected community.
