[Communications] New Language for Website: Who We Are

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello,

This language was approved in Oct. as an update to Who We Are to replace
old language which was not inclusive or broad enough to make clear our
potential We have grown from and the current wording does not reflect our
capacity or reach.  Please assure me that this will be put on the website.

Our city is home to hundreds of community gardens, and the Chicago
Community Gardeners Association has created a network of those gardeners
that is truly gardener-designed and gardener-led, to ensure the
sustainability and vibrancy of Chicago gardens for years to come. CCGA is
composed of working groups that meet regularly to support community gardens
as a vehicle for building sustainable communities and enriching the natural
ecosystem in Chicago and beyond. We are committed to creating a space where
each voice and perspective is appreciated and heard. We support and
encourage the participation of every individual. While Chicago's
neighborhood gardens are our immediate focus, we have the potential to
engage with other areas through our teams of Communication, Education,
Resources and Distribution, and Advocacy and Outreach because many issues
affect our larger shared environment.





CCGA helps to find solutions to common challenges such as leadership
transitions, access to safe water and land, and community organizing.
