NEW from Voices! 💬 💬 "Reclaiming MLK Day of Service: From Perpetuating Harm to Honoring the Legacy" "We do it because we are supposed to." "We get the most volunteers this day, but they never come back." "I get anxious about navigating this day." "It's clear the legacy doesn't matter anymore." These are real sentiments about MLK Day of Service and the feelings provoked by corporate group leaders, volunteer engagers and community members. Over time, the legacy is reduced to quick-fix volunteer offerings, t-shirts and awards, white savior practices, and high-fives of temporary accomplishments without sustainability and community voice. How can we shift this day of service to honor and not harm? In this Voices, Breauna Dorelus, MPA shares her thoughts on the day, what it means for the day's legacy to spark co-dreaming, and her partnership with United Way of King County as they reimagined their MLK Day approach. https://lnkd.in/gSvsp8Rk * this article is for Engage members, low cost monthly memberships are available.

Austin, a rapidly growing city, is facing deep opportunity and housing crises that disproportionately impact African American communities. As the area has become less affordable, many long-time Black residents can no longer call their hometown neighborhoods home. Additionally, ongoing racial inequities and a lack of culturally sensitive spaces have exacerbated unwelcoming feelings in some areas. To attract and retain Black talent, the city must prioritize expanding affordable housing options like rent control and land trusts. Increased support for Black-owned businesses, arts, and community centers through targeted grants would strengthen identity and belonging. Training and elevating Black civic leaders will also be key to catalyzing the Black population's growth. These leaders can advocate effectively for their communities’ needs. By addressing challenges to affordability, representation, and leadership development, Austin can become a more equitable place where diversity thrives for years to come. #AALI
