Our Work
Connective Tissue is a newsletter on the connections, communities, and commitments that bind us together.
As a new wave of community-oriented thinkers and doers is starting to emerge, our aim is to help connect this work, bridging the typical silos of discipline, scale, and place. We’ll share curated lists of articles and research worth reading. We’ll spotlight examples of community-building groups and policies in action. And, in time, we’ll publish essays and interviews surfacing divergent perspectives on community and connection.
Our Principles
Connective Tissue is our attempt to learn out loud about connection and community. Our publication frequency may shift. Our content format may evolve. Our branding will get better. But three principles will always guide our work:
Connective Tissue is nonpartisan. Our experience is that connection, community, belonging, and the like are fundamental human issues that don’t fit neatly into a political or ideological box. Neither will this newsletter.
Connective Tissue is a conversation, not a one-way publication. Respond to our emails with your thoughts. Voice your support (or critiques) in the comments. Connect with fellow subscribers through our digital community group (note: forthcoming).
Connective Tissue is an experiment and work-in-progress, not a finished product. You can shape it with us by sharing feedback on what’s working and what’s not, sending us content to feature, pitching pieces, and more.
