Clearing The Way: How City Managers Can Advance Justice-Led Resilience

Clearing the Way

Across the country, communities of color are leading grassroots resilience efforts—from food sovereignty and land trusts to cultural preservation and cooperative enterprises—often without support from local governments. This resource outlines three strategic shifts municipalities can make to align with that leadership: redesigning procurement to include community-based organizations, leveraging land use tools to enable grassroots infrastructure, and launching microgrant programs that prioritize access over paperwork. These approaches offer low-barrier ways to translate vision into policy and support regenerative, justice-rooted transformation.
