Facilitator of Inclusive + Participatory Planning, Learning, and Strategy for nonprofits, funders, networks, and collaboratives ☆ Relational Resource Mobilizer ☆ Deep roots in Southern Appalachia
The "Ladder of Participation" is a framework that always fires people up in my Inclusive Planning and Responsive Strategy workshop - this brilliant tool draws on the Ladder and deepens, updates, and details the different ways communities can have power (or not) in decision making. Such a great way to think about how organizations can shift power and decision making to those most impacted.
Sending a wave of gratitude and admiration to our friends at the @Participatory Budgeting Project for their recent blog post: "Tools for Participatory Democracy: Spectrum of Community Engagement to Ownership." 📚✨ This blog spotlights a groundbreaking tool co-developed by Rosa González of network partners Facilitating Power. It acts as a navigational aid, supporting nonprofits, community groups, and public agencies to evaluate and enhance their public and community decision making practices critically. But this spectrum is more than a tool — it's the spark for essential conversations and a guide towards redefining our civic engagement efforts. It urges us to reflect on the depth of community participation, the importance of equity and accessibility, and the goal of achieving true community ownership. Immerse yourself in the blog to discover how you can play a part in fostering a more participatory democracy: https://lnkd.in/gEZZkXSX #CommunityEngagement #ParticipatoryDemocracy

Together, we can tackle our most challenging problems. This week I was inspired not by the lofty goals, illuminating research or the theory of change but by the practical, tactical, gritty commitment to get it done. Thanks to the City and partners for hosting the first affordable housing week at city hall and to so many partners in other rooms working on policy change at the state level. A few reflections in the blog linked below.
Mayor Andre Dickens calls #affordablehousing our love language, and we couldn't agree more! We're proud partners with organizations like Atlanta Housing, Invest Atlanta and Georgia Department of Community Affairs in advancing solutions. Our commitment: Connect resources, remove barriers and accelerate progress. Together, let's build a better Atlanta!
