Over the weekend, the Social Justice & Racial Equity team joined one of many local non-profits, Empowered Citizens of Birmingham, for a community cleanup of the Germania Park Community in District 7. We were able to collect over 50 gallons of trash!
Community beautification is an important factor of community health, and with pollution being such a huge issue, it was important for the SJRE team to connect with a local organization committed to combatting environmental injustice.
If you’re looking to improve your local community, don’t be afraid to get involved with Birmingham-based grassroots organizations! Thanks for having us, Empowered Citizens of Birmingham
We owe our progress today to those that came before us. It was their sacrifice, courage, and determination that paved the way for future generations. The Children’s Crusade changed everything. We are thankful for our foot soldiers ✊🏾 #SJRE #CivilRights #ChildrensMarch #ChildrensCrusade #BlackHistory #USHistory
