Hi Everybody...
My dear friends at the Community Health Councils (CHC) who began The Coalition for an Active South LA, have been working to find ways to repurpose vacant and underutilized lots in South LA to address the shortage and inequities in parks and open space. The work they've done so far in an effort to create healthy living in our community is to be commended!!
Recently, CHC has formed an exciting partnership with Columbia University C-Lab and 596Acres.org to help advance the vision of a greener South LA by giving communities the tools they need to reclaim and re-purpose empty, vacant, underutilized spaces in LA. They have submitted a joint application to help fund the project. The selection process includes a contest that is powered by votes and comments from the online community.
So, PLEASE...
Check out their contest page and proposal here: LA Open Acres Project
And SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY VOTING HERE: http://myla2050.maker.good.is/projects/LAOpenAcres
Overall, HERE's WHAT THE PROJECT WILL DO:
Ultimately...WE NEED MORE GREEN SPACE
I thank you in advance for your support!
Sending Out Much Love for the Community,
HP
