The brand that once encouraged us to ‘sing in perfect harmony’ as a way to foster peace and unity is once again encouraging diverse voices to come together to make a difference for good.
Coca-Cola is tapping into celebrity and influential voices in social justice to host a series of inspiring, virtual dinner conversations called Together We Must: The Conversation.
Beginning Wednesday, October 21 in connection with National Make A Difference Day (October 24), Coca-Cola is hoping these virtual events will facilitate a conversation around various social justice topics, encouraging people to listen, connect and take action together.
Each virtual dinner will include celebrity and influential guest speakers to help inspire, facilitate, and amplify conversations on how we drive real action and lasting change. Among those scheduled to speak include American race car driver, Bubba Wallace, Team USA Paralympic Track and Field athlete, Roderick Townsend, and Co-host of the Yes, Girl! Podcast, Cori Murray, among others. Anyone can register to attend and you can learn more about Together We Must: The Conversation here: https://www.civicdinners.com/togetherwemust.
