Watching a community organization grow into a grassroots community powerhouse is what i have been able to do with Neighborhood Networks. I first met NN in 2009 or 2010 when i was working for ACORN and conducted a voter registration training for the members of Neighborhood Networks at Drexel university. We stayed in contact throughout the years and i’m recognized as member of NN because i contribute to events hosted by NN.
I’m very impressed with how involved Neighborhood Network is in the Northwest community of Philadelphia and issues that concern our city. Neighborhood Networks is a perfect example of concerned community members building relationships in our communities and with elected officials to get the folks in office who share the views and values of NN. Grassroots organizing not nonprofit organizing, grassroots citizens advocacy in living color, for no one but the utility and supply companies get paid. NN shared their numbers for the 2015 Primary canvassing that they did in various wards. The volunteer work of the members of NN raised the number of votes for NN candidates and that makes them a force to recognize when elections happen.
