bodegas and restaurants on south union, south common park, Sullivan park, el taller, book clubs, writing events. GLFHC, LGH, mostly downtown for buses. Public and private schools
Arts agencies are key. El Taller. Informal small businesses. “Immigrant city,” gas explosions, non profit control of socio-economic resources, evangelical and catholic church communities, small business (restaurants, bodegas, car shops, barber shops). I’d say most of the cultural bonds are informal and grassroots.
Lack of community control of economic development resources that would strengthen environmental stability. Non profits control all of the money. Dirty rivers. Gas explosions still having impact. Poor urban soil quality.
Grassroots empowerment. Preventing the displacement of the poor through gentrification. Non-profit control of resources and decision making means grassroots everyday people have less access to direct democracy. Changing the toxic political culture. Ending sexism, homophobia and transphobia through loosening the grip of conservative Christian influence in the city. Integrative mental health support for youth. End the Lawrence public schools receivership and give control back to the School Committee.
