Citizen Active - Episode One

January 27, 2010

Big change starts locally with neighbors coming together to confront poverty, discrimination, homelessness, crime, and blight. Through art, housing, and collective action, these grassroots activists have transformed their local communities and developed scalable, exportable models for change. The organizations recognized by Citizen Active for Community Building include City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, Common Ground & Make the Road New York.

Citizen Active is a Plum original series devoted to the rising spirit of activism and the remarkable people who are working for important change.

    This is awesome, it's really just a snapshot of the millions of things they do down there. Thanks, and I'm glad even way out here in New Mexico, we can find a common node with you all. Se puede?! Si se puede!
