It's been a busy week for the Housing Coalition. Of course, the big news here in Wake County is that the school board voted to eliminate the diversity policy. Chris and Carley have authored an op-ed about how this will effect housing patterns. Look for it in this weekend's N&O. A big thanks to Jessica Parker, one of our MSW interns for pulling the op-ed together.
We hosted another Asset Building Forum along with the Assets Alliance in Fayetteville. Next Friday we'll be in Asheville for another forum. Come join us if you can.
We ended the week on a high note at a joint committee meeting of Blueprint. For those of you who don't know, Blueprint is partnership of more than 40 progressive state-level nonprofits. All are committed to improving the common good by pursuing an integrated communications and civic engagement strategy. It was great to feel the support and encouragement from all these organizations with the same goal. Thanks to Stephanie Bass, Tom Burton, Sean Kosofsky and Erin Byrd for the inspiration this afternoon.
Coming Soon: Text Message Fundraising!
Have a great weekend everyone,
Anne
