Please join in for Somerville Community Corporation’s Movie that Matters in Chuckie Harris Park from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, September 24 (rain date September 25). This event will be outside, with masks encouraged, and social distance enforced.

To raise awareness about the housing affordability crisis in Somerville, as well as issues of equity and opportunity generally, they are hosting a short documentary screening in the park. SCC and their partner organizations will be tabling with information on programs and resources, and the Bon Me food truck will be there with delicious fare.

The work of the Somerville Community Corporation and theirr local community nonprofit partners is crucial to the diversity, affordability, and equity of our city. WeThey fight together to help those facing eviction, homelessness, unemployment, poverty, and displacement by providing critical equity resources like job training, financial education, community organizing, affordable housing, and advocacy. These basics – shelter, safety, a stable job, a voice – are the foundation of equity without which all other efforts crumble.

Ensuring all our neighbors can participate and prosper is how we build a thriving and resilient community. An equitable Somerville means everyone has access to good jobs, rising standards of living, and stable housing.

Join in for the Movie that Matters in Chuckie Harris Park on Friday to learn more about the impact of SCC and their partners in the Somerville community and support their important work.
