GREAT Housing Info & Action-Planning Meeting
June 5 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
In 2019 GREAT began hosting community discussions and events about housing and development in Germantown. That work generated many relationships, connections, collective learning, analysis, and a strong foundation to build on. This year marks a shift toward a stronger action / community-organizing approach.
Our Info & Action-Planning Meeting on June 5th is a call for Germantown folks who want to get more involved, to get started with us.
The format of the event will be very interactive. GREAT / Housing Committee folks will share information about current and upcoming projects, and we will break into small groups to start working on some of these projects. (see diagram below)
Our hope is that this event will help build our core team, to continue working with.
Maleka will facilitate and we’ll break into small groups so folks can focus in on a particular project they’re interested in:
- Housing outreach effort (mapping, outreach practice, tips for communication and story-sharing)
- Organizer’s Guide (start building the content, what would you need to know / share if you were reaching out to your neighbors)
- Affordable housing list (what affordable housing exists in Germantown? start on the list, and create a plan for how to add to it)
- Mutual Aid Fund 2.0 (brainstorm what this could look like- structure, values, resources)
We’ll also offer a Learning Circle sign-up and might have part of the Housing Justice Values document ready to distribute. We will have a follow-up meeting scheduled so we can continue building before taking a Summer break.
*** Please sign up by May 29th ***
Childcare, dinner, and refreshments are provided, so your RSVP helps us plan and order accurately.
Free parking is available in the lot next to GLEC.
