Meet the PEPP Organizers |
|||
|
In February of 2007, Chuck Stebbins joined PEPP as a half-time Community Organizer. He was a System Change Advocate at a Local Independent Living Center—Freedom Resource Center for Independent Living. Chuck is working on get out the vote, political forms, candidate accountability and connecting nonprofits to their constituencies and getting the client/consumer voice represented in human service policy issues in the local area. In Mid September of 2007, we hired Octavio Gomez as a Community Organizer. Octavio is working on tenant issues, police practice issues as well as our beginning work on Racial Equity. Octavio worked in the technology sector for the past eight years and is now focusing on community building with PEPP. This expansion of staff is
giving PEPP a larger presence of influence
in this community. Our shift to building
a larger alliance through nonprofits and community groups is beginning
to show
greater potential for new people to get involved in improving this
community.
Watch our web page for examples of what we are moving in the community.
