Today, the NYC Commission on Racial Equity (CORE) released a letter urging @NYCMayor to release the Preliminary 2024 Racial Equity Plan (Plan). Our City’s failure to deliver the Plan not only undermines our efforts but also deprives impacted community members of the opportunity to respond to the goals and action steps through which the city proposes to close the gaps in health, wealth, and well-being that generations of discriminatory policies and practices have yielded.

Watch our exclusive interview with @InsideCityHall tonight with CORE Chair and ED Linda Tigani and Former Racial Justice Commission Chair, Jennifer Jones Austin.

.@PureJoyJJA of @FPWA: I no longer worry about failure because if I do what I'm purposed to do, no matter the outcome, I will have succeeded. Now, if you don't do your part, failure will be yours, and yours alone. You know you can fail. But what if you succeed? #PowerOfPlace

Exciting to see (and take part in) participatory budgeting gaining steam in RI!

[Alexa Gagosz @AlexaGagosz]

NEW: R.I. asked ordinary people in three cities how to spend over $1m on their neighborhoods. Here’s how that process of participatory budgeting could be the future.
