Brockton named one of the nation's 100 Best Communities for Young People - 0 views

  •  
    Brockton achieved national recognition as one of America's Promise Alliance's 100 Best Communities for Young People presented by ING for its initiatives to help young people. The competition recognizes communities across the country that focus on reducing high school dropout rates and providing service and support to their youth. What I find funny about this site is that many people don't know about the resources Brockton has, so its word of mouth. I'm finding it hard to find structured programs for the youth to stay off the streets, but its the best communities for young people.

    Wow, I see what you mean! Maybe it's something bias on ING's part, because that def doesn't make any sense. You're a resident, I'm sure you have a first hand look at everything. Good post.

City may sue developer who spent $20,000 to remove 40 tons of trash from vacant lot - 0 views

    I liked this article because this man used his own money to help clean out an empty lot. He even remodeled it because it was such an eye sore. Now he is being asked to return the lot into it's previous trash filled condition.

Immigration - 0 views

  •  
    People in the Latino community continue the fight for immigration rights and equality.
  •  
    There's a group I belong to through my church and they are currently supporting the Fast For Families Bus Tour. It's a route across America culminating in a march in Washington to bring attention to immigration reform, families who are separated because of deportation laws and the difficult path to citizenship for migrant workers and their families. I'll forward the article if anyone's interested, but the link didn't work when I tried it.
