Join us for a weekend of celebration, reflection, and community building in the heart of the Russell neighborhood! This vibrant gathering honors the legacy of the community, celebrates the work of the Russell: A Place of Promise (RPOP), and uplifts the voices of residents who have led the fight against displacement. Through music, food, art, and powerful storytelling, we’ll reflect on five years of grassroots organizing and envision a future rooted in equity and resilience. From family-friendly fun to deep conversations and joyful performances, this weekend is about remembering where we’ve come from and imagining where we can go—together.
