The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Expand community education and support programs for immigrant families to support and encourage independence and self sustainability such as cooperatives. Ensure easy access and spaces for immigrants to share knowledge and experience.
Who it helps and why
Creating/developing programs in collaboration with the immigrants most affected by disparities will assure solutions that are racial, cultural and socially equitable. Immigrants can be allies to the city into looking for solutions that not just benefit them but the whole city. Looking to immigrants as a resources not a burden will change the racial playfield.
