Black-led Organizations Taking Up Space in Planning Urban Planning has long been criticized for its lack of diversity, resulting in exclusionary policies and urban design that fails to reflect the needs and experiences of Black community members. But change is on the horizon! On January 22, 2024, an old friend of mine, Leighana Mais will be participating in a panel discussion featuring the thought-provoking mini-documentary "Nothing for us, without us". This documentary delves deep into the systemic racism embedded within planning practices across Canada. I am thrilled to see Black-led organizations examining past injustices and collaborating on actionable solutions to shape our neighborhoods for the better. This event is a critical opportunity for us to challenge the status quo and pave the way for more inclusive and equitable urban planning and design in Toronto. If you're in Toronto, I strongly encourage you to register and attend this groundbreaking event. Let's come together to shake up the way we approach urban planning and policy development in Toronto and beyond. Together, we can create equitable cities that truly serve and uplift our Black community.

Community power is real, and we're seeing it flourish through the incredible work of the Center for Common Ground! This story is just one powerful example of what happens when community-driven efforts take root. A Black woman, running for state Senate in Southwest Virginia, defied expectations and won her primary election. Against all odds, and even against a handpicked successor of the incumbent, she emerged victorious. This isn’t just about an election—it’s about community capital at work. It’s about people coming together, believing in local leadership, and reshaping their future. What impresses us most about the Center for Common Ground is their authentic, ground-up approach. They don't just parachute in with funds and dictate solutions. They listen. They invest in people who have lived the challenges, and they empower local voices to lead. It's this kind of investment—rooted in trust, respect, and genuine partnership—that drives real, lasting change. Community capital is about more than money; it's about uplifting leadership, investing in potential, and transforming our neighborhoods from within. We're honored to be part of this movement that’s cultivating true change from the ground up. #CommunityCapital #ImpactInvesting #CommunityEmpowerment #CenterForCommonGround #LocalLeadership #SocialImpact #GrassrootsMovement #CommunityDrivenChange #InvestmentInPeople #RCICommunityFunds #ChangeFromWithin
