Preservation in the face of climate change. At its best preservation balances realities of change with preservation of essential identity

100 years ago today, the 19th amendment was ratified to grant white women the right to vote. It would be decades before that right was granted to people of color. zora.medium.com/a-non-whitew…

Muni quote of the summer?
“We have to look at why (Arlington's) demographics are what they are, and educate ourselves and understand that it didn’t happen by accident, we are not a predominantly white community by accident.”

"They do the day-to-day work of local government, but the region’s teachers, police officers, firefighters, public health nurses, and other municipal employees do not reflect the diversity of the Greater Boston area," a new MAPC report found.

Critically important topic. In 2018, w/ strong support from @mahahome, @mhphousing reduced minimum credit scores for the ONE Mortgage program. Results have been exactly as intended: increased lending to people of color with little or no additional credit risk.
Read this. Thoughtful and insightful ideas
“What would credit reparations for Black communities look like?”
