Dear ioby Untokening supporters,

What a day the convening was - and so timely, too. Thank you for your support of this first-of-its-kind gathering, The Untokening: A Convening for Just Streets & Communities which took place on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2016 in Atlanta, GA.

In summary, over 130 folks attended, traveling from around the country (one person traveled all the way from Cape Town, South Africa!). Over two-thirds of our participants were leaders of color and your individual contributions - coupled with generous support from our sponsors, including a 2:1 donation match from Rails-toTrails - made it possible for us to provide 25 registration scholarships and 10 travel stipends for leaders of color! We were thrilled to award financial support to everyone that applied. Additionally, thanks to your generousity, we were able to host the convening in a beautiful and comfortable setting, the Loundermilk Center, in which we had important, heartfelt conversations about the holistic welfare of our communities and where we laughed and built solidarity with one another. This was - and is - so necessary, especially in the days ahead.

So what's next?

• We'll update our website and use Twitter to keep the conversation going! Please follow-us!
• We'll synthesize key takeaways from conversations at The Untokening and will draft and publish position statements in early 2017;
• We'll decide as a group what form and structure our equity and justice-centered work will take and how to convene on- and offline.

Again, many, many thanks for your support! We look forward to continuing the conversations and connections made last weekend and to advancing our shared community-centered visions for mobility equity moving forward.

Sincerely,

Adonia, Anthony, Carolyn, Naomi, Sahra, zahra
