This Peer Conversation will share the story of Cleveland’s Parks and Greenspace Coalition (PGC): its origins in the 2021 Cleveland Mayoral Election, how it has evolved over time, and its current focus.
Discussion leaders will dive into the Coalition’s organizing strategies, including networking, advocacy, and policy efforts. Participants will learn about the PGC’s role in providing resources and access to residents who are activating their parks, ask questions, and share stories about similar efforts in their communities.
