The Raleigh Rialto presents Voices That Build
2025-07-25 19:00 - 21:00 | The Rialto, 1620 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, 27608, United States
Join us at The Rialto Theatre for “Voices That Build: Speaking Up For Our Children Through Stories: an evening of authentic, live storytelling where local community members, including educators, youth advocates, pediatricians, and neighbors, take the stage to share powerful narratives about speaking up for our kids!
In each 5-8 minute story, they reveal deeply personal moments: a mom wanting a strong public school system for her child, a teacher finding the courage to speak out in political spaces, politicians pledging to put children at the front of their political agenda, a pediatrician’s determination to change the public health system for children, a coach who believes that sports can change the trajectory of youths lives, and many more. This isn’t fundraising—it’s a community‑led celebration of advocacy, a chance to connect with those who are building momentum for child‑first policy change, and a platform to inspire you with real, raw stories that make policy personal.
This isn’t a traditional political panel—it’s live and personal storytelling in the style of NPR’s Moth Radio Hour, curated to be thought provoking and heart pulling. You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, you might tear up—but most of all, you’ll leave with new insight into what it truly means to speak up and speak out for kids during hard political times. Hear how neighbors are translating passion into action, feel the energy of collective advocacy, and learn what you can do now. This is your opportunity to be part of something real, human, and hopeful—right here at The Rialto!
