Racial & Economic Justice
The Chapel Hill community
and the Town Council have asked for a new Comprehensive Plan to reexamine the
vision for Chapel Hill and to plan together for our community's future.
the new planning and visioning document will create a framework for the
community to guide the Town Council in managing Chapel Hill's future
over the next 20 years.
Chapel Hill 2020 is a plan that involves Chapel Hill, every community, every race, every age, every culture, every corner. What is in Chapel Hill 2020 will directly affect you -- your values, your ambitions, your family, your future. You have made Chapel Hill your town, and we want to hear from you.

Public Meeting on Proposed Boys and Girls Club Facility
A public forum will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30, at the
Pine Knolls Community Building, 107 Johnson St., to discuss a proposal
to build a Boys and Girls Club
facility on Johnson Street. The Pines Community Association has worked
closely with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Eastern Piedmont to plan the
Boys and Girls Club at the Pine Knolls Community Center. Plans include
renovating the existing Pine Knolls Community building at 107 Johnson
St. and building a new facility on Town-owned lots at 107A and 107B
Johnson St.
The Town Council must approve the use of Town land for this purpose.
When making such a decision the Council typically considers a wide
range of issues, including the potential effect of the project on the
surrounding community. Residents are invited to share their thoughts,
opinions, and suggestions about this proposal to build a Boys and Girls
Club facility in the Pine Knolls neighborhood.
If you cannot attend the meeting, please share your thoughts by email, telephone, or mail.

In the June 8 edition of the Independent Weekly, Joe Schwartz reports that a housekeeper at UNC Chapel Hill has filed a lawsuit against the university alleging sexual harrassment in what appears to be the latest in a series of reports of poor working conditions for UNC housekeeping staff.
Below is the body of an email sent by me this morning to members of the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City School (CHCCS) Board, the CHCCS Public Foundation, and the Carrboro Board of Aldermen.
An anti-lingering ordinance was passed in 2007 in response to neighborhood complaints of loitering and disorderliness at the intersection of Davie and Jones Ferry Roads in Carrboro (the Town of Carrboro Ordinance 5-20 can be viewed here starting on page 8). This intersection (and the Pantry located there) is one of the most popular sites in our community for the gathering of day laborers to meet potential employers.
Local organizations have raised concerns over this ordinance unfairly targeting minority residents and not being constitutional. In fact, the North Carolina ACLU raised such issues when the ordinance was being drafted. Concerns were also voiced on Orange Politics both before and after the ordinance was put in place.
