IMPACT clergy traveled this week to Orlando, FL to gather with Justice ministry leaders from across the country to study our sacred texts from the margins and share inspiration on building our organizations and changing our communities!
IMPACT leaders are in Charleston, WV along with 50+ Justice ministry leaders from around the country for training and inspiration on building power and negotiating!

Happy to be serving as @IMPACTCVILLE co-president this year!
Thanks to everyone who came out to our 19th Annual Community Problems Assembly last night! Some highlights:
We voted to continue our work on affordable housing, public transit, and substance abuse for the coming year, and heard important updates from @Ned4Albemarle and @votemikepruitt on the ongoing work towards the creation of an affordable housing trust fund in Albemarle County!
40+ IMPACT leaders gathered last night to prepare for strong house meetings next month! Get in contact with ministry leaders in your congregation to attend one!
Thanks to @Nat4Cville for joining us last night to celebrate our big recent public transit victory!
Had a busy & great spring day meeting with @DelegateCallsen, hearing from the Bike/Ped Advocacy Committee about upcoming bike/ped improvements, e-bike subsidies, and Sunday Walk, then wrapped up the day with @IMPACTCVILLE to cheer on the 8 new bus drivers added to the fleet!
Over 100 IMPACT members gathered last night for our annual Celebration to recap our hard work and important accomplishments over the past year!
The Women’s Center has been closed for over 4 years now. This is unacceptable. Our community needs care, not crisis!

mer mclernon tells council they need to fund 11 new bus drivers, not 8. (there are several people with printed signs that say 11 new drivers, i think this is a specific call to action from IMPACT)
IMPACT retweeted
"no matter what plans are made, things will not improve until we have enough bus drivers. we need at least 11 new bus drivers in this new year's budget," she reads from the letter.

keyri with IMPACT charlottesville shares a letter from someone who couldn't be here tonight - they rely on the bus 7 days a week but service is very irregular, causing them to be late for work or forcing them to walk 90 minutes to work.
More than 25 IMPACT members showed up last night to tell our city councilors we can’t keep waiting for the bus, and we need 11 more drivers now! If you want to echo this support, you can email city councilors before next Tuesday to influence the FY25 budget!
