10 Days of Connection: Stories of Second Chances @ Dragonfly Thrift Boutique

In recent years, people have become increasingly divided across lines of difference. Incidents of hate have increased, and tolerance for differing ideas has decreased. For ten days each year, we challenge the entire community to break down silos and engage in acts of connection, to build empathy, to increase understanding, and to refocus on our shared humanity.

The 10 Days of Connection takes place in Miami-Dade and Broward counties from May 1st through May 10th. It is cohosted by more than 100 organizations, and there will be dozens of opportunities to connect with others across lines of difference.

Join in! Our community will be stronger when we all commit to focusing on what unites us instead of what divides us.

Every person has dignity and potential. But one in three American adults has a criminal record, which limits their access to education, jobs, housing, and other things they need to reach that potential. Join LEAP on Wednesday, May 9 for an evening of Stories of Second Chances.
