The Why
Danielle is working towards a New Deal for Greenbelt which honors our collective history and re-envisions a new and vibrant future for all Greenbelt residents. We want to help tell the story of Greenbelt and what makes it such a dynamic community. Our city is a small but mighty community that embraces people from all backgrounds and cultures and the council should reflect this diversity.
The vision
With the political, social economic, and environmental challenges facing even our small city, the work of the council should be to nurture the collective spirit and interests of the community, amplify the voices of all residents, and ensure that there are systems and platforms in place that help us operate effectively, connect with one another, and celebrate our progress.
Our platform will focus on key issues critical to the health, safety, and vitality of all Greenbelt residents.
Our mission is to serve the COMMUNITY, build CONNECTIONS, and inspire COLLECTIVE ACTION.
One Greenbelt Together.
Our vision is a Greenbelt that is:
Growing
sustainable
inclusive
Thriving
