Equitable Zoning Reform Campaign
Goal 3: Embrace Equity in Zoning
Strategy 3:
Engage Trusted Community Messengers to Engage Residents in Zoning Discussions
Joining Forces has heard throughout Evanston that people in its marginalized communities often feel like their voices, concerns, and needs do not matter and are likely to be disregarded even when solicited. For the EZP, Joining Forces went beyond its usual communications networks and engaged with community partners with deep roots in the communities we were trying to reach for help with engagement. This helped us to increase the diversity of the people who provided us with input and to obtain results that reflect the needs of a broader base of community members.
