Join this movement along with other leaders, community based organizations, residents, and public agencies.

Contra Costa Together aims to create a place where all people thrive. We are united in our collective power to respond to the present and reimagine the future.

Be a part of the Contra Costa Together kick-off summit to begin this journey to connect across our differences, heal from the harms of the past and the threats of the present; and to build a future where we all belong.

Now is the time to come together to bridge, heal, and build a better future.

During the event, we will work toward:

  • Building trusting relationships among community leaders, organizations, and agencies
  • Exploring the vital conditions that drive our health and well-being
  • Increasing our knowledge, skills, sense of belonging, connection & collective power
  • Reflecting on and beginning to organize around shared strategies and investments
“For far too long, we’ve had numerous coalitions and multi-sector groups yet trust and meaningful connection has often been lacking. It’s time to go beyond surface-level partnerships and build deeper, more effective ways to collaborate. This Summit presents a pivotal opportunity to unite our efforts and move forward with purpose.”
