What it reported doing in 2022

Over the last year we have run focus listening circles both online and in person. From these circles we have surveyed participants with what worked and didn't work. We have created a website and networked with other organizations that might feed into our purpose. All of this was done by volunteers. We have not launched the non-profit with the public, and we have not paid any of the volunteers. At this stage we have been in building and idea mode.
