A local anti-racism group and production company held a community networking event Sunday in an effort to inspire people to get involved in grassroots organizations in their city neighborhoods.
About 100 people walked through the Main Street Armory’s main room Sunday to chat with the 16 or so community organizations that had set up booths at the Community-Networking Extravaganza. The event was hosted by the Activists Against Racism Movement and Down in the Dirt Productions and Publications.
The booths at the event featured groups ranging from Action for a Better Community Inc. and Pathways to Peace to Rochester Indy Media and even some individuals hoping to run in upcoming political elections.
“We wanted to do something to involve the community … building local community strength,” said AARM educational committee chairman Howard Eagle.
