What are the top three items of concern you have regarding the North Pratt neighborhood?
It's been a tough year on everyone. Even before COVID struck, many were suffering from financial, health and social battles. Many of our children, young adults have been significantly, and all too often silently, impacted by the illegal and unnecessary murder of brown citizens across America. As our national population ages, numbers of elder abuse cases have likewise risen. Murder in our own town seems to be out of control. It is imperative that we get a grasp on what ails our hearts, families, communities, cities and the nation. As we go into a new year of leadership for our neighborhood, your positive voice, your helping hands, your wisdom and strength is key. Team work makes the dream work. And there's no "I" in TEAM!
