Indivisible Akron March Meeting: Neighbors Talking to Neighbors
2026-03-09 18:00 - 19:30 | First Congregational Church of Akron, 292 E. Market Street, Akron, OH, 44308, United States
Neighbors Talking to Neighbors: A 2026 Engagement Workshop
Our March 9 meeting will focus on preparing our members to have meaningful, confident conversations with friends, family, and neighbors about the kitchen‑table issues shaping this election year. Many people in our communities feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to participate in civic life. This session is designed to help us counter that disengagement by giving our members practical tools, shared language, and a sense of purpose as they talk with their networks about why voting matters now more than ever.
RSVP NOW
Purpose of the Session
Kenyona “Sunny” Matthews will lead us through an interactive exercise that helps us:

Understand who “kitchen table voters” are and what they care about.
Identify the top issues affecting our communities over the next six months.
Practice ways to connect everyday concerns to civic participation.
Build confidence in having conversations with people who feel politics is confusing, overwhelming, or irrelevant.
Shift from “acting upon” communities to “acting within” them—meeting people where they are and connecting civic engagement to real needs.

About Our Speaker: Kenyona “Sunny” Matthews
Sunny Matthews is a motivational speaker and community advocate whose work centers on inclusion, fairness, and affirming the humanity in everyone. Originally from Greensboro, North Carolina, she studied government, philosophy, and African American history at Guilford College, where she helped launch anti‑racism initiatives and diversity programs. She later earned her law degree from the University of Akron with a focus on civil rights.
Sunny has worked extensively in multicultural community engagement, youth leadership, and civic empowerment. Now based in Akron with her family, she speaks to schools, organizations, and community groups about respectful dialogue, equity, and building stronger communities. She is known for her warmth, positivity, and ability to help people feel seen and valued—earning her the nickname “Sunny.”

This gathering is part social, part collaborative. We’ll spend time building relationships, listening to what’s happening in our community, and working collectively to plan events, outreach, and mutual support efforts.
