We are gathering the Network to 1) engage and connect; 2) provide an overview and update on the Racial Equity and Social Justice bill/ Bill 27-19; and 3) share the accomplishments and next steps for the Network.
The MORE Network is a collaboration of community members, grassroots organizations, non profits, and other stakeholders who are working towards racial equity and its intersections. It is a new collaboration--about 6 months old--that was organized to bring together individuals, groups, and organizations working towards a common goal: racial equity in Montgomery County, MD.
This community meeting is open to everyone who has contributed to MORE's success and to anyone interested in learning more about the Network.
