Join us for an immersive experience to learn about Traction ministry. We will explore the Black Block in Pawtucket, RI led by Traction founder Leslie Moore. Leslie is implementing the Traction model by sharing her life and resources to create a Black economic and cultural hub to revive the downtown of a former mill city.

What to expect: Learn how Traction founder, Leslie Moore and others are radically applying the Traction model of resource sharing to build a Black economic and cultural hub in downtown Pawtucket, RI. Leslie and others who live and work in the Black Block will lead us on a tour of the various buildings which include a performing arts center, mini-mall, innovation lab, housing and properties still being developed. We will also spend some time imagining what sharing our lives, social networks and resources could mean for us collectively and individually.
