How to build more compassionate, progressive and sustainable communities Making a Difference

This is part 2 of a two-part series with Thomas ‘TJ’ Clynch of Civic Mind in Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Thomas founded Civic Mind in 2011 as the political and economic climate of the “Great Recession” created a market in demand for social impact through community organisation, creativity, and collaboration.

In this episode, Thomas dives further into the chequered story behind the redevelopment of Dillon Stadium. This includes how it has led Thomas into legal action with personnel at his local City council – twice! He then goes on to talk about public policy, before sharing his vision for how social equity and economic justice can be leveraged to build more compassionate, progressive and sustainable communities.
