COMMUNITY CONVERSATION POWER SERIES!

March Community Conversation

Black voices united to address systemic structural barriers that marginalize the Black community.

Key issues discussed included

• Housing

• Education

• Economic development

• Social service safety nets

• Jobs

• Small businesses

• MWBE (Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise) contracts.

The goal of the Community Conversation was to organize and mobilize political power into a coordinated, people-driven movement—one that educates, empowers, and secures benefits reinvested into the Black community.

We also explored the political infrastructure and apparatus and the role we can play in holding elected officials accountable. Advocacy for our agenda must focus on investing life-sustaining resources back into the community.

Additionally, we examined the community’s political infrastructure, including ward chairpersons and committee representatives, and their connection to the Democratic Party in representing our interests.

We must move beyond rhetoric and toward real political power to create lasting change.
