Equity for Common Good in Eastern Oregon – HOPE FOR ALL [TraumaInformedOregon.org]

In order to create a long lasting impact, Equity for Common Good in Eastern Oregon created a practical, yet transformational, plan to advance equity by meeting communities where they are and allowing them to set the pace. The very intent of this project is to allow local communities do their own their work in advancing equity. Often in rural, remote, and isolated communities, people feel pressured from outside organizations to take on initiatives that are not their own. After in-depth dialog, the Malheur Equity Team identified a common thread, lack of hope. If every person has equal access to hope, our communities would look much different. This notion was pared down to simply, “HOPE FOR ALL.”'
