"Thrilled to share my recent experience attending the UMW Colloquium Coffee Talks, where I had the privilege of hearing from the remarkable CEO of FailSafe, Juanita Shanks. Her insightful discussion centered on the pivotal themes of 'Changing Lives, Rebuilding Communities, and Helping Families Affected by Incarceration.' As someone deeply passionate about social impact and community development, her words resonated profoundly with me. #UMWColloquium #FailSafe #SocialImpact #CommunityDevelopment"

As someone deeply involved in the local community, I've seen firsthand the impact of transparent governance and community engagement. When I moved to Murrieta, I wanted to understand how local government worked and how I could contribute to making our city better. This journey has taught me the importance of sustainable development and supporting essential services like fire and police departments. One of the most rewarding aspects is seeing how community involvement can lead to real change. By attending council meetings, engaging with local representatives, and advocating for responsible growth, we can all play a part in shaping the future of our cities. What’s one way you think we can improve community engagement in local governance? #CommunityInvolvement #LocalGovernment #California

🌍 Together, We Can Create Lasting Change in Our Communities! Change starts at the grassroots level, and we all have a role to play. When we engage with local government and collaborate with community leaders, we build stronger, more resilient communities that benefit EVERYONE —especially those who are often overlooked, like justice-involved individuals. By showing up, lending our voices, and taking action, we ensure that policies are inclusive, and services and opportunities are accessible for all. Let's make it a priority to advocate for programs and initiatives that address the unique needs of every community member, from housing and employment to support for individuals transitioning out of the justice system. We have the power to shape the future of our neighborhoods. When we work together, we uplift each other and create a society where everyone has a second chance. 🙌 Get involved. Engage with your local representatives, attend community meetings, and support reentry programs that help create brighter futures for justice-involved individuals. #SouthernMissouriReentry #Reentry #CommunityEngagement #LocalGovernment #SocialImpact #ReentrySupport #SecondChances #InclusiveCommunities #GrassrootsChange #JusticeReform

Good morning community🙏🌈! Another great article that describes my service to my community across San Mateo County. My position is absolutely clear to all sides in this race as to where I stand on issues plaguing our county. There has been absolutely no flip flopping or back sliding on where I stand. I know where I come from, and I know what the people tell me they need to live better lives here in SMC🙏. Establishing working relationships should never mean compromising your moral compass or ethicall duties to the people. Who I am, if I see something wrong, I’lll always call it out. It does not matter who it is doing the wrong✊. Assimilating into the political arena has not been easy. System impacted means exactly that. People represent systems, and we need to move our Democratic Party toward a more sustainable people representing people model. We need to be fighting to protect people, not the systems themselves.✊🇺🇸 those systems are based on traditions and attitudes of the past, and we need to start looking ahead, into the future, or else our future will look like our past, because that is all you can see. You can’t paint your own picture because the system only provides you the materials to keep the current picture exactly the same. I break cages, I break chains, and I hope to break this political barrier in San Mateo County so we can addresss some of our District issues with a new model of acceptance that includes everyone, regardless of your age, gender, religion, immigration, status, economical status, or educational status. I only see people, that’s it.🙏🇺🇸 https://lnkd.in/gHzPJCEV?

The More for Memphis plan has six interrelated focus areas: Education & Youth, Economic Development, Arts & Culture, Community Development, Health & Well-Being, and Justice & Safety. Each strategy outlined in the plan fits into at least one focus area, with several actually leading to better outcomes in two or more areas. For example, the inclusion of school-based health centers in local community schools can improve resident health while also decreasing chronic absenteeism rates for students. #ByTheNumbers #MoreforMemphis

In 2021, it was estimated that 77 percent of eligible youth in foster care aged 14 to 21 left care without receiving federally funded services to prepare them for adulthood and independent living. Providing preventative and supportive care to foster youth can significantly reduce the number of them who become involved in the criminal justice system and experience homelessness after emancipation.
