Yes. Community engagement is key.

Who run the world? 🎤 ✨👯 Our community education team that is now bigger than ever! Our Community Education (CE) team exists to break cycles of violence and address root causes of gender-based violence in Asian and immigrant communities through community engagement, outreach, education and prevention efforts. For the first day of our team’s retreat, we talked about what brings us to this work and what ultimately brings us back. Community. Belonging. Radical love. Dismantling systems that perpetuate violence. Seeing the impact of the seemingly small things in people’s lives. We’re taking time to dream about the impact our team can have in Asian and immigrant communities in Central TX, imagining the world we can co-create with community, for community. What brings you to this work? What keeps you grounded in it? 

Highly recommend

For the health, education, and financial stability of all.

At Forward Ability Support we are always looking at how we can improve outcomes for those that we support including supporting research into SCI and the associated conditions.

From our partners at the Rutgers Community Living Education Project (CLEP) - a person-centered organization that shares possibilities in community living. Their new video highlights the lives of four unique individuals living in different types of community environments. But 'community living' is about MORE than where you live. It's about being able to do the things you love, learn the things you want to learn, continuing your education if you choose to, and spending time with the people you enjoy. These are the things that create a person-centered life, and essential human right for everyone – including people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. https://lnkd.in/gnVabww2

Hi Morgan No we are not Proud of Mayor Lucas. Repealing NEW ORDINANCE TO CODE BOOKS ORDINANCE NO. 230401 Amending Chapter 3, Code of Ordinances, by repealing Section 3-431, “Setting Goals for Individual Contracts” and enacting in lieu thereof a new section of like number and subject matter regulating the application of numeric MBE/WBE goals on certain projects leased for development or receiving economic development incentives or tax abatement. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY: 2. Ignoring the letter from The Kcmo Fairness Board Chairman & Fairness Committee regarding Civil Rights violations ? Harrasment of minority contractors ? inadequate reporting from Kcmo CREO department ? No Disparity report for 9 years and more ? 2016 Disparity Report below: Department of I think 1.2 minority [participation] and 2.5 WBE [participation], when there was adequate availability of minority and women contractors to meet the City’s standard kind of goal of 15 [percent] and 7 [percent]. They’re diluting the opportunity for minority and women contractors when it comes through the statutory business development organizations, all of whom have different sets of rules..… There ought to be a uniform code that is incorporated in all the development agreements which people in our community never see.… There’s a disconnect. And I realize they’re trying to change some of that now but the insulting part of it was there was more money spent through statutory agencies last year for contracting activities than there were through City departments.… It’s obviously developer driven. By the time we see it the development agreement has already been executed. Caused lack of capital for Jackson County schools and libraries. Mayor Lucas and Insult to African Americans everywhere?
