Place-Based Activism

Place-based activism is a form of community organizing focused on improving specific locations or neighborhoods. It involves local residents and stakeholders working together to address issues like environmental quality, housing, transportation, and public spaces. By emphasizing local context and needs, this approach aims to create meaningful, sustainable change that enhances the well-being and resilience of a particular area. It values community input and often seeks to empower residents to participate in decisions that directly affect their environment and quality of life.
