Strategies

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly

Apologize for the history and legacy of slavery and provide direct payments or community investments to Black descendants of people enslaved in the U.S.

Provide incentives to trade in old cars or light duty trucks with low fuel efficiency and high emissions and buy new vehicles with higher efficiency and lower emissions; also called scrappage or vehicle early retirement programs

Support food-producing and income-earning activities in urban environments (e.g., edible landscapes, front yard or rooftop gardens, window farming, hydroponics, livestock, etc.)

Allow residents to keep chickens and bees within city or municipality limits
