On October 23 Maryland Forward Party hosted a public forum to discuss Question H, a ballot measure in Baltimore that would shrink the City Council size in half, from 14 districts to 8. We were honored to host our panel experts: Jovani Patterson (PEACE) Lawrence Grandpre (LBS Baltimore) Zac Blanchard (City Council Primary winner) Evie Harris (Community Activist) Lois Hybl (League of Women Voters) Andy Ellis (Baltimore for Democracy) The format of the panel discussion was different than most traditional panels or debates. Together we focused problems, not yet on solutions. To better understand the nuanced details regarding the size of our city council, we needed to first step back and understand the potential problems associated with this topic.

"But why? We’re a grassroots lobbying organization. Why are we spending our time on local placemaking events? Because study after study has confirmed that local events and cultural expression are the glue of the community. Socially, emotionally, and yes: economically. A community where locals don’t know their neighbors, don’t participate in local arts, and don’t take pride in their community is a community where people don’t spend their money. In other words: our disconnection from one another and from our public spaces literally make us more poor, as a community." #economicdevelopment #grassrootsaction #environmentaljustice #economicjustice #stakeholders #michiganbusiness https://lnkd.in/gYbG7eHf

Greater Bergen Community Action has launched its Healthy Homes program, an initiative that aims to remediate environmental hazards in 140 residential units throughout Bergen and Passaic counties. For each, the organization is offering up to $15,000 worth of essential home improvements — to address risks like mold, lead and structural deficiencies — to vulnerable income-eligible populations like seniors age 65 years and older, disabled individuals and families with young children.
