Please join the Healthy, Equitable, Active Land Use (HEALU) Network for Part 2 of our four-part summit series, Equity as a Through Line: Social Movements, Public Finance, and Infrastructure Investments for Healthy Communities. Part 2 will explore crucial but overlooked challenges facing small cities and under-resourced communities, like the need to compete against larger and wealthier cities for grant dollars, the lack of sustained funding for community-based organizations to facilitate engagement and monitor highly-technical implementation processes, and a system that often favors “shovel-ready” projects over investing in long-term community capacity. Speakers will also reflect on what’s working well and how together we can build capacity in under-resourced communities across LA County and beyond.

When: June 13, 2019

Where: LA84 Foundation, 2141 W. Adams Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90018
