Working side-by-side with partners, our community resiliency work (like #211, #PHLConnectED, and the #ViolencePreventionHotline) helps connect people to resources, relief, and basic needs.
According to Paula, “If we begin to see ourselves as one ecosystem and unite forces as a collective, we can transform systems into more equitable vehicles to respond to the needs of historically marginalized communities.”

What lessons can we learn from the collaboration tactics employed in #charlottenc?

Learning from Charlotte's example at the #PhillySJUnited #OpportUNITYSummit
"Charlotte aggressively addresses its challenges. There are hurdles and barriers, of course, but that attitude is the biggest reason why the Mayor's Equity Initiative was so successful."
Blair Stanford
ED, Charlotte Executive Leadership Council
"What we're really here to talk about is the path forward for Philadelphia. How do we transform Philly going forward? What are the big ideas that Philadelphians can look to?"
Michael Forman - Chairman and CEO, FS Investments
@cjftownsend7 - One question I've learned to ask that really applies to transformational change is, "Do you want results, or do you want to be right?" If we only talk to each other about what we agree on, we'll never move forward. So be receptive, be open, and you might be surprised at what you can accomplish.
