HONORS

Elder Rose Carter, executive director/lead organizer of ACTION – the Alliance for Congregational Transformation Influencing our Neighborhoods – is celebrating 10 years of service.

ACTION is a grass-roots community organization that seeks to unite faith groups, schools, neighborhood organizations, tenant councils and other nonprofits to work for social justice. ACTION is based on the premise that residents themselves hold the solutions to the problems that face in their communities.

In honor of her 10 years of service, ACTION has set a goal of raising $10,000 to launch this next decade of service to the Mahoning Valley.
