We need to get the facts straight on the issues of boys and men.
The conversations surrounding boys and men have been steered by poor evidence and opinions. AIBM aims to provide research that can create a better foundation for constructive conversation and policy around the issues of boys and men.

Weaving is building relationships. Weaving is connecting. Weaving is a way of living. It means standing against a culture of personal striving and competition, and including people of all types in building relationships across difference and community success.

Listening to our @AspenInstitute @weavetheppl colleague @frederickjriley at #SSIRFrontiers. On getting on the right path to bridging divides & avoiding false consensus: "I'm often sitting next to me at the table. I need to sit across from someone who is not me." 💯

70% of Americans believe our trust in each other is shrinking, but 86% say it's possible to improve confidence in one another, @pewresearch shows.
How? By investing in local communities.
We explore in our new season of "After the Fact." pew.org/3XKacyh
In America's neighborhoods, local organizations are bringing people together to provide solutions—and hope. I discuss the power of community on @pewtrusts' "After the Fact" podcast. Listen now: pew.org/3wxgB43 #WeavingCommunity

Trust starts at home and is the key to bringing us together.

It’s fantastic to be back in person for meaningful conversations. Talking about prosperity and how we define and measure it. Thanks to @UnitedWay for hosting us. @AdvanceTheDream @Farah_Pandith @frederickjriley @RAH_United @SHRM_CKO
As more and more people loose trust in our systems we cannot loose a faith in our neighbors!
6 out of 10 young Americans believe most people can't be trusted. How can we rebuild broken social trust?
@nytdavidbrooks and @frederickjriley spoke to @ChandlerFdn about how #weavers build trust locally and tell new stories about ways to come together. ow.ly/cuGQ50LexfX

Director @frederickjriley raised a round of applause for @MandT_Bank “Not often do banks become this deeply entrenched in community based work.” Today as we celebrate #WeaverAwards we also recognize the community and corporate partnerships that make this work possible!
In America, interpersonal trust is in decline. Less than 1/3 of Americans agree that most people can be trusted. Today local hero’s Dani Battle & Mack McCarter joined @nytdavidbrooks and I to explore why rebuilding trust must start where we live. @aspenideas @weavetheppl – at Aspen, CO

Today I honor hero’s who’ve helped me navigate this blindfolded journey through life. I honor them and will forever be in their debt. Black history makers live among us, let’s take time to honor them.
Weave’s @frederickjriley remembers the Black heroes in his life this #BlackHistoryMonth. They fought the same injustices and prejudices of our society—not on a grand scale, but on a human scale, changing his life and #WeavingCommunity. ow.ly/DA0p50DFj9i
