“Everyone has a voice. There’s systems that oppress those voices. As policy advocates we are not here to be a voice for others, rather we seek to remove the barriers that prevent people from being heard.” @neeka_ #RaceAndPolicySymposium
“It’s on us to create the spaces we want to see to build a better future for our community.” @DavidtheQue
For our closing we spent time reimagining what thriving neighborhoods that meet community needs could look like.
