On The Path to Equity: Understanding How Race and Power Shaped the Outdoors and How We Can Reimagine Belonging Together

Watch You Rise
Film Screening and Discussion
Watch You Rise is a documentary by local filmmaker Isabella Grace Cohn. After the film Cohn and others will have a panel discussion. Watch You Rise follows a young filmmaker as she comes of age, unearths stories of sexual assault experienced by her mother, her peer group, and eventually herself. Along the way, she meets survivors, perpetrators, and experts. Together, they explore the gray areas of sex, power, and consent: seeking to break cycles of harm and uncover radical possibilities for healing.

Room at the Table invites Boulder County's business community to a breakfast built on a simple idea: when you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a taller wall. Join us for a morning of connection and investment in child care access for Downtown Boulder.
