Thank you for making the Building Bridges, Removing Barriers Summit, A Huge Success!

This wasn’t just another meeting - it was a call to action! 

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Round Rock on December 11–12, 2025 for the Building Bridges, Removing Barriers Summit. This was not just a gathering—it was an urgent call to action. Together, we confronted the devastating realities facing Black children, youth, and families harmed by systems meant to protect them. Powerful lived experiences, bold policy conversations, and a shared commitment to the Beloved Community reminded us that change cannot wait. The stakes are real. Lives are impacted every day. Thank you for showing up, leaning in, and committing to action beyond the summit. The work is urgent. Because of you, it continues. There is much more to come!

We are profoundly grateful to the dedicated sponsors and partners whose support made this summit possible.

As we reflect on the summit, we know that your feedback plays a critical role in helping us strengthen future summits. If you attended our summit, please complete our survey so we can continue improving and deepening our collective impact.
