BUT FIRST, GRATITUDE.
It's #GivingTuesday and we're grateful for the opportunity to share the incredible work of our newest Collaborators.Since our launch, last fall, The IRIS Collaborativecontinues to grow as we work to make our world a better place by bridging business and social good!

Young people at Rethink are working to make a world where everyone is safe in their community, has a high quality education and access to healthy food a reality.
In 2019, Rethink's students called "Rethinkers" engaged over 130 youth from New Orleans after a national focus on gun violence to develop a set of demands that exposed the united states of violence. And held a series of student forums called “Students not Suspects” to end the violent treatment of students in our schools. Visit their student led blog site, "Write About Now" to learn more about what's next for this group of young activists.
This month we're thrilled to introduce the newest members of The IRIS Collaborative: JaiSauna, Falasha and Eboneka - who believe in bringing people together to create change. Learn more about our work atirisimpact.org.
