Reinvestment

by Community Change | August 20, 2017 1:30 am

Black and brown communities in the US have endured decades of systematic racial and economic injustice, and public and private disinvestment, resulting in high unemployment and concentrated poverty. By uniting them and unleashing their skills, talents, and enterprise, revitalization can finally take place in those areas and for those people that are struggling most.

The Reinvestment Campaign works with local partners to secure community-controlled funds for the highest-unemployment and lowest-wage neighborhoods to create new, family-supporting jobs and turbocharge economies by rebuilding infrastructure and focusing on critical areas, such as improving community health, reducing pollution and advancing public transportation.
