PEACE, Inc. was proud to support the first of three “Local Government 101” sessions, sponsored by SOFSA. The session offered community members an engaging introduction to how city, county, and state governments operate and make decisions that impact daily life.
Community leaders Tatiana Parker and Tylah Worrell provided a clear overview of governmental structures and processes, helping participants understand how local policies are developed and implemented. Following the presentation, SOFSA representatives shared practical strategies for residents to use this knowledge to advance food justice in their neighborhoods.
By combining education with actionable tools, the session empowered residents to become more informed, engaged, and active participants in shaping their community. PEACE, Inc. looks forward to supporting the remaining sessions and continuing to strengthen civic knowledge and advocacy in Central New York.
