We Can Change Flint
Flint's block clubs and neighborhood organizations continue to play an important role in the revitalization of Flint. They clean abandoned lots and plant flowers to beautify the streets. They band together into crime watches to protect their neighborhoods. And they organize community gardens to help feed their neighbors. Whether they represent a street or an entire neighborhood, their work proves that we as a city have not surrendered to apathy and blight.Dayne Walling knows that by working together we can change Flint for the better. That is why he has pledged that these groups will have a seat at the table of his neighborhood action teams. The concerns of citizens in every ward will be tracked for the first time in Flint's history and problems will be followed up on not ignored. Working together, we can improve all of Flint's neighborhoods.
