Weekly Update
June 5, 2018
Greetings!

"All you ever hear about the East Side is..." while you resist filling in the blank, click here: See what the Pioneer Press found on a walk-around East 7th. Our Gala last week was full of answers about the assets we have that are pulling us forward, the Mayor pointed to our diversity, Tony Sanneh spoke to a legacy of East Siders collaborating and helping each other, a new economic engine is building momentum, and a new frame emerges for the dialogue. The City wants to hear from you this week: Join the Minimum Wage Listening Session on the East Side on Thursday... And don't stop talking then. In the media, on social media, at our shops, and kitchen tables, we are building our own story on the East Side.
The City invites you. It's time to talk for real about how we get to the thriving city we all want to live in.

How can we navigate toward an East Side where we are not adding census tracks into poverty?

How can we make the numbers work so our small businesses grow and thrive? Bring those ideas you have....
