“Robbing North Omaha Again???” Or, “How to Put Federal Recovery Funds in the Right Local Hands,” is taking place Thursday October 28, from 6-7:30 p.m. via Zoom. It is free and open to the public.

A conversation with Senator Terrell McKinney, Senator Justin Wayne, and Councilwoman Juanita Johnson. This dialog will focus on the American Rescue Plan in North Omaha. Lots of time for Q&A.

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provides federal funding to support communities and businesses to restore resources lost, and help repair other damages, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

But how that money will be distributed, and who it will go to, is a matter of debate. The usual suspects? Will North Omaha be left holding an empty bag again?

Let your voice be heard!

We’ll discuss how the ARPA money should be spent. We'll hear from our local politicians, then ask questions and discuss how best to address the issues raised.

Moderators: A'Jamal Byndon and Karen Abrams.

We can’t wait to see you there!
