RSA US hosted a conversation with Sam Pressler as he shared Connective Tissue, his recently published policy framework for regenerating connection within American communities. He provided insights gleaned from interviews with more than 70 practitioners and policymakers on how policy can promote civic opportunity, participation, and connection in the places we call home. Pressler joined us to advocate for a different way of approaching policy — not as a domain beyond our control, but as one that can be actively shaped by community builders and neighbors.

He was joined by respondent Frederick J. Riley of Weave: the social fabric project as we explored the intersection of social connections practice and policy making. We explored how policy-making happens - how we can create and support an enabling environment for re-generating American communities and reflected on our own ability for policy influence and joined up advocacy.
