Community is how.
Our newsletter ate too much turkey and took a longer nap than expected. Whether you celebrated Thanksgiving or not, we're thankful we get to build community with you. Last week, Common Room's CEO wrote about what we've learned working with community-first leaders. Y'all are multi-faceted, multi-talented people who serve your communities in so many ways. We're grateful for that, too.
If you haven't yet, join us on Slack. Got ideas for content you'd like to see next? Let us know!
With great affection,

Her advice to community leaders: "It's okay to keep iterating on the thing you launched. Oh, and trust yourself! You know your community and the data best." |

Uncommon Support
We started Uncommon Support because we believe communities are strongest when they uplift one another. Inspired by a cause near to Erica's heart, last month we donated to the National MS Society, whose mission is to cure multiple sclerosis while empowering people with MS to live their best lives. |
