None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Seven years after an industrial fire at the Clairton Coke Works released sulfur and other pollutants into Clairton's air, funds have started to flow to communities from a $4.5 million fire settlement.

We are at the Pittsburgh public hearing on “inclusionary zoning” with 2 competing proposals on the table.
One by Mayor Ed Gainey : requiring 10% units created be affordable.
The other by Bob Charland: full of loopholes, lies and cast burdens on tax payers. Great comparison on @publicsource.org

@412justice.org
During a hearing ahead of the 2025 PPS budget adoption, parents and community members called for more transparency into district finances and investments in special education programs.
PPS proposes its 2025 budget, a 5% increase from 2024
During a budget hearing, parents asked why PPS doesn’t invest more in special education and called out cuts to ESL staffing and summer programming.
