Testimonials
“We’ve met around something that we all have started to care about. The diversity of the people who are involved is making it a neighborhood in a way that probably wouldn’t exist without it, because, what do we have to rally around? What do we have in common? What would bring us together otherwise? Some tragedy? So here we’re in the process of creating something beautiful and everybody has a chance to participate.”
