  5. ARTIICLES RELATED TO STRUCTURAL RACISM

  6. The Community Action Network makes an appropriate vehicle to design a response to structural racism for the following reasons: • CAA’s are charged with considering hiring the poor and minorities. • CAA’S advocate for and monitor fair housing, environmental justice and safe neighborhoods. • CAA’s recognize that poverty comes in all colors. • CAA’s monitor communities for changes such as emerging populations. • CAA’s are governed by a tripartite Board which is diverse economically, racially and socially. • CAA’s look for new and creative solutions to old intractable problems as a matter of design. • CAA’s are change agents which are reflected in design. • CAA’s adhere to the principle of “Maximum Feasible Participation.” • CAA’s are advocates for equal opportunity. • CAA’s are committed to the principle of “second chance” for the poor and minorities who may have sketchy work experiences wherever possible. • These practices have withstood the test of time and served to develop the agency and the people who work there and communities and the people who live there.

  7. BIG VIEW MEETINGS To be followed with dialogues at Colleges/Universities, In Churches and other Venues
