The next Boston-Based PAR Network has been planned for Saturday, Feb 22nd, 2025, and will take place at the Healthy Neighborhood Study, Conservation Law Foundation offices, at 62 Summer Street in Downtown Boston. The event will run from 10-1 pm. The theme for this meeting will be “Working Together to Make it Happen” where we will do a “Power Analysis” of housing and education resources and start to think about how our work could look when we focus our strengths into Action. There will be a light brunch served as well as time built in for individual project reflection and feedback. We welcome interested folks to join us in community and solidarity.
