Join the New England Equity Collective (NEEC) for Amplify, an inspiring evening of storytelling, creativity, and community in support of affordable, accessible housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

This immersive experience features live music performances, powerful spoken word and poetry, and a screening of Raising Bar, a documentary by High Spirit Community Farm—all designed to elevate diverse voices and lived experiences.

Guests will enjoy an engaging and inclusive atmosphere with opportunities to make an impact through a Fund-A-Need moment, silent auction, and interactive photo booth.

Featured Film & Talk Back: Raising Bar

As part of AMPLIFY: An Evening for Equity, guests will experience a screening of Raising Bar, a powerful documentary from High Spirit Community Farm that explores inclusion, independence, and innovative community living for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Following the screening, NEEC will host a special Talk Back conversation with Lesley Eshelman, Director of Advisory at High Spirit Community Farm. This engaging discussion will connect the themes of the film to the urgent need for affordable, accessible housing and inclusive community models that empower adults with IDD to thrive with dignity, connection, and purpose.

Through storytelling and dialogue, this featured program invites attendees to imagine what is possible when housing, equity, and community are intentionally designed for everyone.

Come be part of a night that celebrates inclusion, elevates voices, and helps build communities where everyone belongs.
