Spotlighting Ways to Engage & Learn
Attend tonight's Cville Plans Together meeting and speak up for prioritizing Food Equity in the Comprehensive Plan!
Are you following food equity additions to the Charlottesville Comprehensive Plan?
To date, 62 of the food equity recommendations have been included in the current draft. Specific wins here! But, there is still more work to do. We want to see Food Equity as one of the key priority areas in the Implementation Chapter. Right now it is only listed as one of 28 of the key strategies. Let the Planning Commission know we see Food as a Human Right and want it to be a key priority.
Join Cville Plans Together meeting, tonight, Sept 21@ 5pm.
