Hi Everyone,<br/>I'm on the board of NFN and am very excited about the direction of the organization.<br/><br/>In response to Rodney's discussion, I totally agree that education plays a key role in combating violence. Some of the actions that Joseph has found to be particularly effective are<br/>- Flyer neighborhood cars<br/>- Passing out flyers and talking to people at the T stops<br/>- Door to Door information sharing (canvassing)<br/><br/>In preparation for neighborhood coordinated effort, I'm in the process of creating tool kits for each of these activities to help provide some guidance. If you have any documentation for how to do any of these activities that you can share, I'd greatly appreciate it.<br/><br/>Thanks and be safe,<br/>Erin<br/> Plan of Actiontag:neighborsforneighbors.org,2010-10-29:1171189:Topic:566172010-10-29T06:33:35.667ZAnna Sandovalhttp://neighborsforneighbors.org/profile/AnnaS

It’s odd because I remember all the tension over citizen review boards for BPD and the reluctance to adopt critical assessments of the police to improve the quality of service, based on input from the community. But the ideal part of this process is that it is data driven and demands cooperation between all parties: BPD, the community, and elected officials.

While this is required to help heal us, BPD needs expression of report, less the emotion, with detail, followed up by a plan of action. This must be driven by all.</span></font></p>
