Building bridges amongst communities
The 10 Days of Connection is a community-led movement that brings people together across lines of difference, from race, politics, religion, to beliefs, values, and more.
For 10 days, hosts curate gatherings, large and small, to burst bubbles and foster trust and understanding. We call these Connection Experiences.

The most beautiful bits of magic that you get to experience from the 10 Days of Connection is that you lose a sense of fear, and you gain a lot of confidence in sharing your identity, your personal story, and how that impacts someone else.

In 2026, we’re inviting the community to work towards more:
Connected Communities
By encouraging all locals to learn about a topic that tend to divide us and engage in acts of connection, to build empathy, increase understanding, and refocus on our shared humanity.
United Communities
By fostering increased collaboration through cross-cultural, multi-generational, cross-sector, and geographical collaboration that champion exchange, and celebrating our cities’ rich diversity.
Active Communities
By promoting a more connected citizenry actively engaged in addressing community issues through volunteering, donating, and/or participating in public interest solutions.
Safer Communities
By feeling proud and powerful, celebrating that we all belong everywhere because of our unique differences.
Prosperous Communities
By cultivating power sharing experiences through skills development around diverse topics led by the experts (from local nonprofit organizations, to elected officials, academic leaders, entrepreneurs, and more!).
We're proud to be building the 10 Days of Connection 2026 alongside this growing list of organizations and leaders:
