Public policy might sound complex, but it's all about making decisions that help communities thrive. Whether it's building a playground, improving education, or protecting the environment, each policy shapes the world we live in. So, next time you enjoy a clean park or benefit from a community service, remember, that's public policy in action! You don't need to be a politician to influence public policy. Attend community meetings, join local boards, or simply voice your concerns. Your ideas and feedback can lead to policies that improve everyone's quality of life. #PublicPolicy #CommunityEngagement #LocalGovernment #CommunityDevelopment #PolicyMaking #EverydayImpact #PolicyForPeople #MakingADifference

One interesting angle on advocacy are the efforts some people devote to prodding certain key players to get more involved. In sectors like philanthropy, there can be a reluctance because it seems too political. As founder of the Center for Community Foundation Policy Leadership, longtime criminal justice reform advocate Stephen Saloom has been focused on encouraging and supporting community foundations to advocate on their issues. As Stephen shared on the podcast, the strongest case for doing so traces back to these organizations' stated missions. Community foundations' missions typically commit them to the well-being of the local populace in the broadest terms—as broadly as any governmental body or public official. So it's only logical, Stephen argues, that community foundations should get engaged in questions of policy that affect the local community. https://lnkd.in/gbzzT-Ba

Did you know that NLC launched the Municipalities Reimagining Community Safety (MRCS) initiative in 2022? With reducing crime being a political priority for many Americans, the MRCS initiative was created to invest in local action to reduce and prevent violence while advancing new visions for safety in communities. One of these visions includes Group Violence Intervention (GVI), an impactful strategy to reimagine public safety. So what does GVI look like?

Community connection is key! I recently had the pleasure of joining city council members and local law enforcement officers from Hermosa Police Department for one of their monthly meet-and-greets at Gitana in Hermosa Beach. Here's why these gatherings matter: Fostering Trust: Building relationships with our officers face-to-face helps create a sense of trust and security in our neighborhood. Promoting Collaboration: Coming together allows us to collaborate on solutions to community concerns, making our area even better. Empowering Voices: Encouraging residents to share their thoughts and ideas empowers them to be active participants in shaping our community's future. Getting involved in the community isn't just about giving back; it's about staying informed and becoming an expert in the local market for my clients. Attending events like these are a great opportunity to connect with fellow residents, understand local concerns, and stay ahead of market trends. How do you stay engaged with your community as a local professional? #realestate #communityengagement #businessstrategy
