"Active Stewardship- an unwavering commitment to truth and to equity. Hope is not passive, it is Active."

- Tim Stevens, Founder of the BLACK POLITICAL EMPOWERMENT PROJECT.

It is an honor to listen, learn, and activate my own Active Stewardship at the Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit today.

"The corrosion and section loss resulted from clogged drains that caused water to run down bridge legs and accumulate along with debris at the bottom of the legs, which prevented the development of a protective rust layer or patina." - Collapse of the Fern Hollow Bridge, National Transportation Safety Board

FIXING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ---> FIXES CITY INFRASTRUCTURE.

Thank you, Benjamin Kusserow, for pointing out this quote/connection. The Allegheny CleanWays GrateKeeper Program is a tactical solution to citizen science & action- direct monitoring, management, and maintenance of neighborhood storm drains.

Thank you, Upstream Pittsburgh & Neighborhood Allies, for hosting the Community Climate Readiness Expo last night in Homewood. I learned so much and enjoyed the rich discussion with neighbors, focused on local solutions, networks, and community building.
