Public Safety Action Planning Convening (Day 2)
Public safety is a complicated issue that is exacerbated by the constraints and disparities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the CAN project team is interested in understanding the public safety needs and priorities of the community, it is important that these public safety discussions come from an informed, innovative, and socially-just point of juncture.
This activation is the third in the Public Safety series of activations. The action plan will be created in partnership with community members and public safety advocates and will inform aspects of the current and future plans to develop, renew, or invest i n the CAN community. Participants will convene to begin developing a CAN-specific action plan for public/community safety that centers racial equity and social justice. The decisions and strategies developed at this convening will be posted to the CAN website.
This event is one in a series of engagement activations designed get to the heart of a dignity-infused, resident-centered experience. The core desired outcomes among all the activations are to activate people to self-determine how they’d like to grow their environments/communities and to spark new ideas and action-oriented civic engagement and ways of being.
