Push for Change this Month: Be Involved in Your Community Organizations

Change and reform begin at the local level and your local advisory neighborhood commissions and civic associations are the first step to promoting positive change in our communities and in our education system. This month, Educate Ward 8 is encouraging you visit your local Advisory Neighborhood Commission Meetings (ANC) and your Neighborhood Civic Association meetings and make your opinion known on the issues that effect you.
