Happy New Year! Or, maybe you’re feeling something other than happy about 2025?
We get it. We’re all still feeling and thinking a lot of things about what lies ahead this year, so we really want to hear from you. It’s time for our annual Community Survey!
Everything we do is in service to building, supporting, and strengthening our community so that together, we can fight extremism and protect our democracy. You are our North Star, so we need your input to make sure that what we’re doing — and the way we’re doing it — is valuable to you.
Your Easy A assignment this week is to take our quick 2024 Community Survey. Help us reflect on the work we did in 2024 so that we can be sure our energy and resources are focused on the right things in 2025. We promise to dig deep into your responses and use them to map our path forward. Just click on the link here or the image below to get started.
