NPU ADVOCACy
The NPU and Advocacy Committee operates under two old axioms: “knowledge is power” and “there’s strength in numbers.” We organize community conversations on the issues of the day with the goal of helping Westview residents engage with state and city leaders in the policy-making process. The committee has partnered with NPU-T and other nearby neighborhoods to plan a City Council District 4 candidates forum later this summer. In April of this year, we launched the “Westview University” speaker series with an expert panel discussion, “A Place for Everyone: How Inclusion-based development can stop displacement, promote equity, and spread economic opportunity in your neighborhood." Future topics we hope to tackle include how to stay safe from financial predators and what ordinary people can do to make our political system work for ordinary people. Come help us generate more of these conversations and get to know each other better in the process. |
