We will discuss ongoing projects: tenant protections, climate/environment, transportation, human rights, restorative practices in ACPS, and much more.
At our meeting, we will check in with each other, hear from project leaders, and consider next steps. Everyone is encouraged to attend and ask questions. Grassroots Alexandria works in small groups focused on specific projects. We hold an action meeting (usually) on the 1st Thursday each month.
