Shelterforce features Bridge to Power
Excerpt from the article: Rev. Raymond Greene Jr., Freedom ROC’s executive director, stresses how connection across geography helps people grasp the universal nature of some of the more pressing problems.
“Although politics are local, this is a national problem that we’re having—not only with housing, but with safety, police brutality, and lack of economic investment,” Greene says. “Bridge to Power allows for us to collect regular, ordinary people, in Akron, in South Carolina, in Detroit, that are going through the same thing they’re going through, so they don’t feel shame, or feel that it’s their fault, but that this is a systemic problem. We’re able to connect all these different cities, all these different states, to build a nationwide narrative that allows us to contend for power on a federal level.”
