Discussion of the Successful Community Forum —
Visions of Hope: Pandemic-Inspired Success Stories of Supporting Our Most Vulnerable Neighbors
This is a follow-up discussion of the Forum. Contact Revae Moran at revae.moran@gmail.com to obtain the Zoom link if you are interested in participating. A copy of the recording of the Forum Webinar link is available can be viewed via YouTube link on the Homepage.
Many thanks to the team: Pamela Flynt Tambo, Susan Moore, Revae Moran, and Vijaya Jammalamadaka, who all collaborated to make this a successful Forum. We owe much gratitude to our speakers, who spoke about promising new efforts to address our societal problems in what one of them called our “new reality” vs. the “new normal,” adding that we will eventually go back to a situation that will not be “normal” at all. They spoke about their organizations’ efforts to address homelessness, food insecurity, childcare, and mental health.
