A collective vision for climate, economic, and racial justice in Parkdale with an analysis of six themes: housing justice, solidarity economy, community health and safety, food systems, climate action, and social infrastructure.
Parkdale People’s Economy (PPE) is a network
of over 30 community-based organizations and
hundreds of community members collaborating
toward economic, racial, and climate justice in
Parkdale. The network combines neighbourhood
planning, collective action, mutual aid, and
community-based research to build shared visions
for the future of Parkdale. Over the past three
years, we have been collaborating with community
members, non-profits, grassroots organizations,
health institutions, and local businesses to
create an updated community plan that will guide
collective strategies in the neighbourhood for
the next five years. The goal is to build a caring
local economy that centres community wellbeing.
