The 2026 Neighborhood JAM Session: Let's Pack 2026 with Joy, Abundance & Meaning

We’re so glad you’ve decided to be a part of Bringing Justice Home: Community and Connection. We can't wait to get to know you and to start doing cool things together. Please join us for this kickoff event to help us set our course for the year ahead.

Let’s JAM-Pack 2026 with Joy, Abundance, & Meaning!
A famous quote says that to be truly happy, a person needs three things: someone to love, work to do, and something to look forward to.
At Bringing Justice Home, we believe these three things shouldn't be a luxury—they should be the foundation of our neighborhood.
We don’t want to wait for the world to change; we want to live lives filled with joy and abundance together, right now.
You are invited to our 2026 Community JAM Session. This is a collaborative, 90-minute planning circle where we will JAM-pack our upcoming year with the experiences and connections that matter most to us. We’ll be asking ourselves: How do we want to feel in the days and weeks ahead and when we look back in December? What do we want to change? What stories do we want to be telling about our neighborhood a year from now?
What is a JAM Session? We are using the JAM framework to decide how we spend our time and energy this year:

• J - JOY (Someone to Love): What activities and "just because" moments will foster shared laughter and deep connection?
• A - ABUNDANCE (Work to Do): What work can we do together? How can we share our skills and resources to lift each other up and strengthen our mutual aid?
• M - MEANING (Something to Look Forward To): What can we create together that gives us a sense of purpose and a North Star for the year?

The Goal: By the end of this session, we won’t just have a calendar; we’ll have a shared vision. We will also show you how to stay connected daily through Just Hearts, our dedicated online community where the conversation continues between our meetings.
Who should attend? Everyone! Meetup members, Neighbors, volunteers, and supporters are all Connection Weavers in this neighborhood. Whether you’ve been with us for years or this is your first event, your voice and your dreams are essential to this plan.
Come join the circle. Let's make 2026 a year of deep connection and work that truly matters.
