COPA Activites
In the fall of 2007, St Angela Merici parish became a member
of COPA (Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action). Since
then, a growing number of your fellow parishioners have been learning
how to integrate our goals and efforts with others who have joined
COPA.
This March, together with folks from neighboring communities,
we participated in the Public Life Academies. This was a series
of directed workshops to learn and apply techniques to define problems
and synthesize them to issues that are actionable. The overall
theme is the Campaign for Regional Shared Prosperity. Specific
issue workshops were formed to address Affordable Housing, Healthcare,
Economic Development (or Opportunity), and Public Safety. Some
notes of workshop participants can be found here. |
