For decades, politicians and large private companies have benefited from the economic challenges facing our country’s urban core neighborhoods. Like a twisted game of Monopoly, land is bought and sold under our noses and millions of dollars of public money are given away with no commitments to the people.

Come out on Saturday, October 8th at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center for a very important community dialogue on how to ensure that public money creates jobs and other economic opportunities for our communities.

It's time to end the games. See you there.

Food, child care and children's activities will be provided.
