Please join us for an intimate conversation about the growth and trajectory of the Choose Love Movement, supported by our many dedicated donors, in this Donor Virtual Roundtable event. We’ll share where we’re headed, highlight the impact donor support is making possible. During the roundtable, you will be able to hear from people whose lives have been impacted personally by our work, including: 
• a powerful story from Youth Ambassador and Darien, CT, high school student Ellie O’Kane
• inspiring testimonies from two participants in Choose Love for Corrections

The event will open with inspiring words from our founder and Chief Movement Officers, Scarlett Lewis, sharing the uplifting change she sees as she travels across the country to speak with educators and students. Also on deck: words from Choose Love Movement Board Chair Sierra Ramieri and Choose Love Movement Executive Director Shannon Desilets, sharing highlights about key work solidifying our foundations and driving future growth. But most importantly, we look forward to hearing from attendees directly and to having a robust conversation framed by your own questions, insights, and feedback. We build our path forward in partnership with our donors, and look forward to welcoming you!
