What would Louisville feel like if we shone our light, energy and joy on the issue of women’s safety?

Publica and CHANGE hosted a roundtable with city leaders and community groups in Louisville to reflect on the impact of the fieldwork and research we conducted in October 2024. 

Publica presented key findings and a summary of recommendations to the group before guiding a collective poetry-writing exercise to re-imagine what gender inclusion and safety in Louisville would mean, look and feel like.
