Sydney Alliance Convention: Together with Dignity
It’s time to reconnect and renew the relationships that give Sydney’s communities the power to change things for the better.
Join hundreds of diverse community leaders at the Sydney Alliance Convention: Together with Dignity and you will leave with new purpose and moved to act by the stories you hear and share.
We are surrounded by urgency: pressures, divisive politics, media cycles, disasters, housing stresses, economic change, and climate. For the past two-plus years we have been reactive to this environment.
To solve these issues together, we need people working in collaboration across the divides of diversity and personal differences – relational power.
At the Sydney Alliance Convention you will connect in small groups with other leaders to listen, contribute, and discern the strategy for our combined action going forward.
This is the start of our proactive response that will shape a more resilient, equitable and fair Greater Sydney. And this is your chance to be a part of it.
