Issues & Campaigns
Issue networks and campaigns form when a group of people from across Greater Cleveland come together to support one another and act together on issues.
We support issue networks as a way to build connections across the area, create new partnerships, and move together on important issues.
Arts & Culture
A regular Network Night, hosted four times per year, co-hosted with Cuyahoga Arts & Culture and the Assembly for the Arts. A great place for artists, arts organizations, and those interested in the arts to come together to learn and act together. To register for the Arts & Culture Network Night, click here. For more info, contact Joi Carter, Lead Steward, at jcarter@neighborhoodgrants.org.
Also, if you have a group conversation and spark an idea at an Arts & Culture Network Night with others, you may apply for a Spark Grant for $1000 to pilot that idea. Here’s the link for more information on the Spark Grant.
Drive to Justice
This campaign had a BIG WIN! Check out the story here. Thousands of Greater Clevelanders are now able to get their driver’s licenses reinstated because of this new law. Our next step is to make sure people know about this law so that they can get their driver’s licenses back. Contact Joi Carter to get involved.
Equity in Public Space
Reclaim Cleveland is a campaign to create a hared space for grassroots people across the city to work together to create and (re)claim outdoor spaces—vacant lots, alleys, courts, parks—and make them accessible to all people. Contact Joi Carter for more information.
Food For All
Advocates in several Cleveland neighborhoods are seeking solutions to the problem of food deserts—places where access to fresh produce, meat and baked goods is limited or nonexistent. The FARE Project (Food Access Raises Everyone) is leading this work in partnership with the Nourishing Power Network.
Contact Taryn Gress to get involved.
