Talking about community engagement & getting involved in local politics with Briceida Castro, Economic Justice Program Lead at PLAN* Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada. Her position is to ensure Nevadans have a safety net! Since the pandemic & the crisis, our communities need better healthcare and housing policies in place. We’re going to focus on housing but it also ties to healthcare.
Wow! This was such an inspiring with @briceida Castro!!! Talking about the importance of self care in community organizing, what is community engagement, and how to start getting involved politically in your local community. @briceida Castro shared so much inspiration and actionable steps! Also we talked very honestly about reflecting on your past, seeing where you fucked up, listening, learning, and doing better. Thank you @briceida Castro for being someone who always inspires me to do better and thank you for leading by example. We can talk for dayssss but this is conversation was an awesome start on the intersection of being creative in community engagement. Can't wait to explore this topic more with @briceida Castro.
