During the Sticking Together Community Meeting on December 6th, more than 300 attendees participated in break-out groups to brainstorm ideas for our next steps moving forward after the presidential election. As promised, my staff and I have compiled ALL of the suggestions that were recorded that evening, and the full list of more than 100 suggestions is now available for your review (or to download) below. Citizens can submit comments there or provide additional information on any of those suggestions. An easy way to let us know what areas you’d like to focus on is to take the survey and rank the eleven top initiatives that came out of the meeting. [Read more…]

Sticking Together — Next Steps Recap
From the December 6 Community Meeting at Charlottesville High School
Our meeting, “Sticking Together in Challenging Times,” produced an outpouring of citizens with ideas about what we need to do next.
It was one of the most energizing meetings that I have attended in years. In fact, the crowd was so large and the ideas so many that it is taking a little longer to assemble them than we originally expected.
We will have a more detailed report soon, but, in the interim, we thought we should post this summary written by one of the attendees. While in no way exhaustive, it details some of the ideas, with links so you can make contact.
Thanks again to all who attended this meeting and contributed their ideas and energy. We are creating an online survey of the most frequently mentioned ideas from the meeting for you to vote to let us know what YOU think the next step priorities should be. We’ll also post a document of all of the ideas recorded at the meeting. [Read more…]

Silver Linings and Next Steps
Friends,
Like many of you, I have had numerous conversations with friends, colleagues, and constituents over the last weeks about the 2016 presidential election.

Citizens find it difficult to understand how Donald Trump could be elected in light of his insensitivity to race, gender, and cultural norms, not to mention his policy proposals. I have encouraged people to take stock of the election, take heart in the strength and resolve that we share to make this a better country, and then act! [Read more…]
