What is VoicesDMV?
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic and recent incidents highlighting the deep inequities experienced by so many, residents of the DMV region faced economic and social challenges. As we work to build a stronger and more resilient community where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive, it is critical to understand the diverse experiences of the people who live and work in the Greater Washington region.
VoicesDMV is a powerful civic engagement initiative that:
Tapped into Community Insights through a regional survey.
Brought hundreds of residents together to discuss the issues that matter in their communities through a series of Social Justice Town Halls and small-group On the Table conversations on October 1.
And now, will help advance ideas sparked during those conversations through Community Action Awards.
