Eleven Community Leaders Across the Country Chosen to Be Part of Inaugural Class
(Mobile, AL, January 11, 2024) — PolicyLink, one of the nation’s premier social justice organizations that advances economic and social equity policies for low-income communities and communities of color, recently announced M.O.V.E. Gulf Coast CDC President/CEO Vickii Howell as a member of its Spatial Futures Fellowship.
Howell is one of 11 fellows in its first cohort, chosen from among hundreds of community leaders across the country who applied for PolicyLink’s new Spatial Futures Initiative.
“The Spatial Futures Fellowship aims to support leaders that are visioning these futures — where all Black, Brown, and Indigenous people have a secure place to call home, the opportunity to repair their relationships with the land and gain restitution for centuries of racist policies that have denied them the ability to thrive for generations,” PolicyLink wrote on its web page. “In 2024, the Spatial Futures Fellowship will bring together 11 leaders from across the country who are working to advance reparative spatial justice in their communities.”
