This is a post of major appreciation for our two outstanding U-M fellows, Jasmeher and Alice (from right) who worked with us for 8 packed weeks this summer.
From meeting with city officials and discussing policy, to helping organize community events, to conducting in-depth research and providing recommendations, to representing our collective in public forums, to contacting and talking with members all summer, these two really DID THE WORK of community organizing.
Though their time with us is wrapping up, their impact will continue far beyond these 8 weeks. We are grateful for all they both did to help us mobilize collective action to help Grand Rapids become a more clean, healthy, just, and livable community.
Alice and Jasmeher, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors to make this earth a better place!
Thank you to University of Michigan, U-M Graham Sustainability Institute, and MI Climate Action Network for organizing the program that enabled this fruitful collaboration š
