Interested in advocating for housing but not sure where to start? Check out this workshop!
Far too often, those who show up to speak at public meetings when a multi-family housing project or MBTA Communities proposal is on the agenda are older, longtime residents who, frankly, already have a place to live. Often missing from that conversation are the voices of younger adults who, due to the difficulty of finding housing in Greater Boston, have or are considering leaving the state. And often, those younger workers tell us, they’d like to be part of the conversation about expanding housing availability. But don’t know where to start, who to talk to, or when to show up. That’s why our chamber, in partnership with CHAPA is launching an effort to engage young professionals in local housing conversations, starting with our virtual Housing Advocacy Workshop Sept. 12 at 1 p.m. Attendees don’t have to live or work in our chamber's communities to attend. In fact, that’s the whole idea: Municipal leaders need to hear from people who wish they could live and work in our cities and towns. If there’s someone in your orbit that might find this of interest please share this link with them.

do you have what it takes?...building capacity for Latino-led organizations that serve the growing Latino population in Maryland is a gap that needs lots of attention in different fields. At Maryland Latinos Unidos we talk and do a lot about building pathways for and with Latinos in Maryland. Like my colleague Gabriela D. Lemus, Ph.D. Executive Director at MLU says, "juntos podemos más". what does it mean to build capacity? To answer this question and join forces, check out the advocacy conversations to discuss priorities for Latinos in Maryland in the "People's Issues Priorities Series" https://lnkd.in/dBEK9Cbm Latinos are an economic power for Maryland so I joined the MLU steering committee with Centro SOL to bring awareness of infrastructural barriers Latinos encounter in building their businesses and organizations. #latinosunidos #representationmatters #advocacy
