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 five 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 Lindsay, Lead Steward, at lindsayw@neighborhoodgrants.org.

Community Journalism

Signal Cleveland and Cleveland Documenters train residents to report on local government meetings. They turn these notes into public record meeting summaries, and offer explainers on complex local government issues.

Contact Anastazia Vanisko to get involved.

Drive to Justice

Join this new campaign to change the unjust state laws around debt based driver’s license suspensions. Thousands of Greater Clevelanders are losing their driver’s licenses because of this law. Join us to make this change. 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.
