Councilmember Laurie-Anne Sayles will hold a series of community conversations. The meetings aim to create safe and vibrant communities.
“We want to hear from you!” said Councilmember Laurie-Anne Sayles. As the council’s lead for eliminating disparities, Sayles sees these discussions as a platform to highlight progress on social determinants of health, increasing crime rates, and economic vibrancy.
