COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR DIVERSE POPULATIONS

AVOID THE SINS OF THE PAST BY GETTING 

MEANINGFUL INPUT FROM MARGINALIZED PEOPLE


“When a community feels as if you have a goal that is misaligned with its goals, that you’re not working on behalf of them, you are not building consensus and working toward shared goals,”

said Charles Brown, founder and CEO at Equitable Cities and creator of the Arrested Mobility Podcast.

“If you have collaboration and co-creation from the start, you can get to a point of trust because you’re working towards shared goals.”

Give a voice to people who never had a seat at the table.

Brown said giving a voice to people who never had a seat at the table produces strong results.

When only the establishment runs the show — planning, rules and procedures can hurt marginalized people.
