Anyone from Jefferson Village (or Greenway Downs) who wants to listen, ask questions, or share is welcome to join us on Zoom.

If you join in, all we ask is you be willing to listen and to explore different viewpoints. We hope to improve our understanding of each other and build a healthier neighborhood for everyone. Thanks and see you all there. Topic: A Conversation: "How do I talk about Race and Equality to my neighbors?"
