[Advocacy-outreach] [Communications] FOR POSTING or not?? Article on Water Access Problems

[Amy Olson]

Lorraine - that would be great if you could post this tomorrow on FB, I can get Instagram if that helps! 

I think it would be good to connect this article with the Chicago Urban Agriculture Plan we’re working on with AUA - encourage people to complete the survey and also attend a listening session. (The upcoming session does not address water access, but the following one will)
