Discovering Our Shared Aspirations Through The New Civic Path Book Circles with Cheri Coryea

Rich Harwood's manifesto, The New Civic Path: Restoring Our Belief in One Another and Our Nation, boldly lays out a new path forward by which Americans might come together, amid our real divides, and create change. He's not a politician. But he's on a campaign to spread this message to every corner of the country. In this podcast, TPF Fellow, Andrew Spector, talks with Cheri Coryea, Initiative Lead for Aspirations to Actions and Digital Access for All at The Patterson Foundation, about why The Patterson Foundation is hosting book circles for The New Civic Path in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.Note: With the release of The New Civic Path, The Patterson Foundation is launching a series of book circles across Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties. These book circles will offer a welcoming space to explore how we can face today's challenges with greater purpose, hope, and civic confidence. Through guided conversations, participants will reflect on ways to build deeper relationships and co-create communities that are more inclusive, responsive, and resilient.
