The Stover Lab had the great pleasure of attending the 2025 Fatherhood Conference at CCSU titled "The Power of Presence". Two days full of learning, connection, and inspiration—reminding us all that when fathers are truly present, families thrive.

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.
