🚨 I need something URGENT for my Colorado network to share, like, comment on, and fill out. 🚨 If you are an organization that supports outdoor education and recreation providers and believes underserved and disinvested communities should also benefit from nature's ecological, health, educational, economic, and career-building benefits, then you need to show your support by filling out the Colorado Outdoor Equity Grant Program Engagement Survey: https://lnkd.in/gcWAXZTv Show your support by endorsing and adding your logo or name to the coalition website/assets. You will also have multiple ways you can show your support by filling out this brief survey. 🚨 Context 🚨 After several years of stellar growth in the Colorado Outdoor Equity Grant Program, the program has reached its statutory funding cap, and it is clear that it is time to go back to leaders in the state to build an even bigger, bolder program for Colorado’s diverse communities. Even with the program's massive popularity, we still face several challenges in securing additional funding, and we’ll need your help this year more than ever! Forty million dollars in funding requests have been submitted over the three-year life of the program, while the total funds of the program’s life have been just $5.5 million and capped at $3M a year. We desperately need your support! Fill out the survey today, then like, share, and comment! Have a wonderful weekend!

❗❗ Protect the Surplus Lands Act❗❗ Sign-on to the AB 1439 opposition letter at the link below by 5pm, June 19th! https://lnkd.in/gB9MW-fA tldr For nearly a decade, East Bay Housing Organizations has worked to strengthen California's Surplus Land Act (SLA), which ensures public land is used for public good. This law requires public agencies to offer their surplus land for the development of affordable housing first—and it is working! Since 2021, over 17,150 housing units have been created across the state using this law, including 10,750 affordable homes. EBHO has been following AB 1439, a bill that would amend the SLA to allow land to be sold for "healthcare facility" use without first offering the land for affordable housing development. This is an effort by Sutter Health, a private healthcare corporation to bypass the SLA and grab public land in Sacramento to expand their facilities. This sets a dangerous precedent, weakens the SLA, and hurts Californians in need—particularly low-income residents in desperate need of affordable housing.

Out of the 75 counties in Arkansas, 36% have a broken website or no website at all. An even larger percentage are outdated or unsecure. By having a modern, functional website with easy navigation, county officials can better connect with their constituents and ensure that the public stays well-informed at all times. Not only that, it helps create trust between local government and the citizens they serve. If your county is lacking a user-friendly, up-to-date website, encourage your county judge to contact Mass Enthusiasm. #CountyWebsites #ConnectConstituents #BuildTrust #MassEnthusisam #MakingMarketingInteractive
