**This event is free, open to the public, and hosted by Field Day on Zoom.**
Our Streets brings people together to respond to the needs of the community and change the dynamic of living, primarily serving people experiencing housing and food insecurity. With a true grassroots origin, the nonprofit began with a group of friends who observed the needs of their community and were inspired to take action in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement and COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Propelled by community momentum, the nonprofit has grown quickly – they’re now supplying over 600 meals to six shelters per day with 30 staff members and a permanent kitchen (plus a second opening soon).
In this Changemaker Channel, join us for a fireside chat with Buchi Asemota, Executive Director of Our Streets, that’ll leave you feeling empowered to make a change within your community.
What we’ll cover:
+ Our Streets’ grassroots beginnings
+ What it means to work in alignment with the values of the BLM movement
+ Their exponential growth of operations (and why they dropped “PDX” from their name)
+ Questions from the audience
**About Changemaker Channel:** In this series of virtual fireside chats with leaders of nonprofits on Field Day, a community engagement platform and Portland-based startup. |
