Good afternoon,

 

We hope your spring is off to a great start!  The City of Charlotte is pleased to present the following opportunities for your consideration:

 

 

 

K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace: Exhibit Tour and Dialogue – Saturday, April 7th, 10:00am – 12:00pm (a few spots remain)

Levine Museum of the New South – 200 E. 7th Street

 

??‹Want to engage with your neighbors on a deeper level?  Join us this weekend for a tour

of the K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace exhibit followed by a community dialogue.

 

K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace is a community-created exhibit about police-involved shootings throughout the nation and in Charlotte.  Co-created with activists and law enforcement, the media, students, clergy and civic leaders, K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace explores the historical roots of the distrust between police and community, tells the human stories beyond the headlines, and engages viewers in creating constructive solutions. The exhibition also captures the voices of local police, protesters, emergency personnel, faith leaders and others reflecting on their personal experiences during Charlotte’s protests.

 

Space is limited, register here.

Charlotte Community ToolBank – 2513 South Tryon Street

 

??‹Does your neighborhood or non-profit need to borrow giant jenga in January? Adirondack chairs in April? An outdoor movie screen with projector in October?

 

If you need these or any of a slew of tools, shovels, clean-up supplies, ladders, pressure washers and more please join Maureen Krueger and HNS’s Nicole Storey at this Tuesday's Charlotte Community ToolBank Tour. We'll explore the warehouse, learn about neighborhood grants and Keep Charlotte Beautiful programs and find out how you can borrow what you need for pennies of the cost.
