Junction Coalition Holds Christmas Party for Members and
Family
On Friday, December 15,
the Junction Coalition held its first Christmas party for
its board members, staff and families at the Frederick
Douglass Community Association. About 50 Junction volunteers
and family member attended the event.
The Junction Coalition was
recently honored for community work at Ohio Environmental
Council State Dinner with former Governor Ted Strickland. He
shared how proud he is of Toledo’s very capable Honorable
Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, Esq., and the hard work that she
is doing for the city!
The Junction will partner
with local residents as well as institutions generally to
assist the surrounding disenfranchised community and stand
against injustice. Aware of the dehumanizing aspects of
systemic poverty, the Junction Coalition plans to work for
the Junction neighborhood as a guiding force for systemic
change to alleviate poverty. Building on the four pillars of
social justice, economic justice, environmental justice, and
peace education, the Coalition plans to work toward:
planning, organizing, directing, and coordinating economic
revitalization activities, developing and redeveloping
within the boundaries of the Junction community and
improving the quality of life for all neighborhood and
community stakeholders, especially low-income residents.
