Connections Through Covid - 1

This year has been like no other in Cambridge, with coronavirus disrupting so much of our lives and demanding response, action, and change.

Some problems appear more urgent. Things we take for granted seem more fragile. And many of us don’t want life to return to quite what it was. We want a more courageous, more sustainable, more equitable world. 

Connections Through COVID is a series of conversations designed to help us help each other thrive in these challenging times.
