How Can You Advocate for the Park and Neighborhood?

The Pioneer Park Coalition needs the voice of every member to ensure the message to improve the park, Rio Grande neighborhood, and homeless services is being heard. It is possible to do all these things in a collaborative and evidence-based approach, as we are willing to collaborate and move away from currently divisive rhetoric. As a coalition, we need to advocate and accurately represent Pioneer Park and the Rio Grande neighborhood in traditional media and social media, from the perspective of every stakeholder including residents, businesses, community organizations, and those experiencing homeless. View our updated PPC Talking Points Document for more information and past advocacy writing from coalition members.
