Description
How do you achieve community engagement in which community members have the information and tools they need and deserve, to not only effectively participate in public processes but also make decisions about the facilities and infrastructure they will use or be affected by? It’s daunting. Explore case studies and programs that seek to change the trajectories for historically-marginalized communities’ experience with transit and redevelopment projects. Find out about collaborations between transit riders, workers and local residents. Hear about creative strategies for building the capacity and political power of community members to shape policy and push for environmental justice.
