Join us for an insightful Collective Conversation featuring Garrett Neiman, author of "Rich White Men" and Co-Founder of the Perennial Sunflower Project, as he shares his transformative journey toward understanding the systemic issues of racial wealth disparity. Garrett will discuss the insights from his book and explore how his experiences have driven him to take action within the ecosystem of white individuals dedicated to closing the racial wealth gap. His talk will highlight the importance of organizing not just white men, but all white people, to foster collective responsibility and effect meaningful change in our communities. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in a critical conversation about race, privilege, and the power of solidarity in building a more equitable future.

Garrett Neiman is a nonprofit entrepreneur, donor organizer, and activist. Previously, he was the founding CEO of CollegeSpring (college access) and a co-creator of Liberation Ventures (power building toward reparations). In 2023, Hachette published Garrett's debut book, Rich White Men, which NPR Books praised for its direct yet compassionate take on how elites can share power and why that benefits all of us. Currently, Garrett is a co-creator of the Perennial Sunflower Project, a field catalyst that is building infrastructure to strengthen the emerging movement of white men who are partnering across differences for equity and justice.

An in-person weekend retreat in November is the cornerstone of a 3-part series that will guide you from awareness to action and empower you to align your resources with your values.

Through a range of modalities, including historical and contextual learnings, group dialogue and personal reflection, you’ll gain tools to make a tangible impact and promote equity.
