America Speaks Community Conversation, Saturday, June 26th, 10:45 a.m - 4:30 p.m.
****************************************************
Please be informed that there will be a Community Conversation in New Haven on Saturday, June 26th.
This is part of a national America Speaks event where people discuss their future. Our national debt is projected to grow at an unsustainable rate if our country remains on its current course. Our nation’s leaders have decided that something needs to be done, but they need to hear from us and they are willing to listen. The result of the meetings will be presented to President Obama and other decision-makers.
Join Americans across the country linked together by live video to let them know what we think. The National Town Meeting is our chance to learn about the issues, find common ground, and present our priorities to leaders in Washington.
You can find more information at the America Speaks website: http://usabudgetdiscussion.org/.
The meeting in New Haven will take place on
at the
New Haven Public Library Wilson Branch
(303 Washington Avenue; Buses B&J and parking is available from Daggett St.)
The meeting will start at 10:45am (the registration starts at 10:30am) and it will end around 4:30pm. Lunch will be provided and there will be a small stipend. Your friends and family are also welcome. You don't need to be well prepared for discussion since there will be an information session before discussion. We are expecting to have about 40-50 people at this meeting. Please register by sending an email to: hiroko.ide@yale.edu by June 21. Questions are also welcome.

New Report: A Close Look at the Reality of Community Violence Interrupters
Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Dr. Shani Buggs, eminent researchers and experts on the work of community violence intervention, have published, together with LISC, Supporting the Frontline Through Community Healing: Advancing Science on Violence Intervention Outreach and Trauma Exposure. The study, focused on safety efforts in Kansas City, MO, is a deeply researched and compassionate look at the trauma CVI workers confront every day and how to support the field so that practitioners “are protected from the same harms they work to prevent.”“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership
LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. Each group has leveraged the leadership program to inform and strengthen their work and, in turn, to serve their communities more effectively.Mobile Home Residents in Washington State Are Calling the Shots After Buying Their Park
Manufactured housing, which 20 million Americans call home, is one of the few affordable housing options in the United States. The residents of two Washington State mobile home communities recently succeeded in purchasing their parks with help from ROC USA and over $2 million in financing from Rural LISC. As a result, they have been able to stabilize their housing costs, upgrade their communities and remain in the places they love.
