It's no longer business as usual. We must think outside the box! These will be just a few topics that will be discussed by our campaign. Going into the fifth year of a great economic depression, it has become evident that our systems and structures (political, economic, criminal justice, social systems, education, etc.) are in chaos. If we keep doing the same thing over and over again, we'll get the same results. Not good enough, we must have better results as we move all of our neighbors towards a better hopeful future.
PROSPERITY is about asking tough questions, thinking outside the box in regards to our needs, wants, and priorities from the bottom up, not from the top down. All of us can make a difference in some way. We must all come together in the spirit of community to support our struggling neighbors and move beyond our differences for Better Pathways to Prosperity for All. Discussion Topics include: Election/campaign finance reform; local control of our schools and communities; better pathways to prosperity for all; criminal justice vs. restorative justice; living wage jobs, affordable housing, affordable education, and local sustainable economic vitality efforts!
