Dear Eliot Neighbors,

We would like to invite you to a Community Safety Discussion and Working Session on Tuesday, May 24, from 6pm to 7:30pm.

Some of you may have attended an in-person listening session on March 30, facilitated by Lisa Freeman of the Community Safety Division and Andre Miller of Jo Ann Hardesty’s office (see meeting notes attached). There was a lot of momentum and energy at that event that we would like to carry forward.

We are not city employees, but we are a group of neighbors who want to continue this work and join with others who want to make Eliot a safer and more inclusive place to live. We hope for this to be the first of many community-led discussions and planning meetings for these efforts. Our facilitators from the city continue to be invested in our community’s success, and we plan to keep them in the loop and utilize available resources as plans and ideas progress and take shape.

WHO: Eliot Residents, Community Partners, and Businesses

WHEN: Tues 5/24 6:00pm – 7:30pm
