The Equity Movement is spreading like wildfire. I’d like to introduce Metro St. Louis Coalition for Inclusion and Equity, M-SLICE.
M-SLICE mission is to advocate for the equitable distribution of public and private investments to transition traditionally underserved communities into healthy and vibrant places to live, work and play throughout Metro St. Louis.
VISION:
M-SLICE vision is to collectively identify community needs and strategically implement programs to transform our neighborhoods into socially and economically vibrant places to live, work, play and thrive.
M-SLICE SERVICE AREA:
Our boundaries target underserved areas within the Metro St. Louis area including East St. Louis.
ADVOCACY & PROGRAM ACTIVITIES:
M-SLICE members have identified 4 initiatives that focus on developing a comprehensive community/economic development strategy that promotes the realization of 1) healthy and green communities, 2) business development and expansion for job creation, 3) grassroots leadership development, and 4) sustainability issues such as preserving and expanding mass transportation.
