COMMUNITY DIALOGUE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 6:30�8:30 P.M.

Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, WHEN: Wednesday, May 25, 6:30�8:30 p.m. FOR MORE INFO: 323-759-6063 or www.socallib.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- The Library�s South L.A. project, �From Generation to Generation: Making Things Better in South L.A.,� invites people to �listen for a change,� engaging residents and others in defining and responding to community conditions. In this event, cohosted by the Los Angeles Community Action Network, a moderator will set the stage for three community storytellers; music, discussion, and dialogue will also be part of the activities. Although everyone is aware of hunger and homelessness all around us, the event will look at how these issues are addressed, especially when it comes to changing policy. Bringing up larger issues of people being displaced from South L.A. to downtown and pushed back again by gentrification, the event will explore the broader strategic question of how to include the poorest in long-term strategies for change. RSVP for translation services, 323-759-6063. Families welcome; light refreshments. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
