Community Resources – give your input!

Ayúdanos a fortalecer los servicios sociales en santa mónica.

Please join us:

The City’s Human Services Division needs your input as they work to reimagine the City’s social service grants and direct services that serve thousands of Santa Monica residents every year. Through a series of meetings, they are seeking community feedback on what measures of success are most meaningful and impactful, as well as what types of services are needed.

As valued local community partners, and people who live and work in Santa Monica, your insight is needed to ensure that the City’s social services are contributing to a safe, inclusive and diverse community that supports a thriving economy.  In addition to your own attendance at one of these meetings, we are asking that you share this opportunity with your networks.

Together we build a stronger and more inclusive community!

Free Screening Paris to Pittsburgh

May 29 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm

THE CLIMATE FOR CHANGE IS NOW!

From coastal cities to America’s heartland, Paris to Pittsburgh celebrates how Americans are demanding and developing real solutions in the face of climate change. 

And as the weather grows more deadly and destructive, they aren’t waiting on Washington to act.

“Paris to Pittsburgh shines a light on the many forgotten communities and people who have been affected by climate change in our country, as well as solutions for how we can fight back and reduce our carbon footprint. I’m proud to be part of this poignant and powerful documentary, and admire the pro-active approach Bloomberg Philanthropies has taken with this project and this issue; we need meaningful change.”– Rachel Brosnahan
