The Getting to the Bottom of the Ballot's After the Election Series continues this fall with the following seminar led by Council Member Don Samuels:
Violence in Minneapolis . . . A region-wide solution to a local problem. As gang violence has heated up in Minneapolis this summer, local leaders have defined the problem as metro and even statewide in its impact and solutions. Council Member Don Samuels, representing the impacted Jordan neighborhood, has led the response to this problem by calling on members of the larger community to pay attention, allocate resources, and participate in change. Samuels will lead a discussion in Southwest Minneapolis on the roots of the violence and how the entire city is challenged with becoming part of the solution. Tuesday, September 16th, 7-9 p.m. Southwest High School, Community Education , Chowen Ave South and 47th Street - enter door #16. This effort is sponsored by Southwest Citizens for Civic Engagement and Southwest Community Education. Southwest Citizens for Civic Engagement is a project of the Fulton Neighborhood Association in cooperation with a growing list of neighborhood organizations including Linden Hills, Lynnhurst, Windom, Kenny, Armatage, and Kingfield.
