Your Neighborhood, Your Voice :: Join the Alliance on February 16th

Friends

Sadly, may of our neighborhood are grappling with serious and long standing problems such as blight, fires, home foreclosure lack of employment and affordable housing opportunities. To properly address these issues in all of our neighborhoods we as one community must organize and collaborate around common interests. That is why the Peace and Justice Center is inviting each of your neighborhood associations, civic clubs and community groups or another representative from your community to a brief meeting on Weds Feb 16th here at the offices of the Peace and Justice center at 1000 South Cooper at 6pm.

The purpose of this meeting is to connect the work each of us is doing and to seek mutually beneficial solutions and opportunities for action so that we can collectively advocate on behalf of all our communities. Our goal is that these early meetings could be the start of a new Alliance of Neighborhoods filling the void left behind when the Center for Neighborhoods was absorbed by the City of Memphis. This alliance as an independent member driven body will serve as a vehicle for collective community action on issues that effect us all.

We look forward in working in solidarity to address all of our community’s challenges. And hope to see you on Weds Feb 16th.
