How can we transform fear into compassion? Join us on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Boise State University to collectively deepen our understanding of human rights and develop strategies and skills to foster compassionate communities where we can all belong and thrive.

Thank you to the Boise State School of Public Service, Marilyn Shuler Human Rights Initiative, and Boise State Writing Project for sponsoring this important convening.
