One stimulus proposal that was different.
Submitted by Hannah Miller on Fri, 10/30/2009 - 5:28pm.This was originally a comment on the thread about the Daily News articles criticizing the way the city has approached the stimulus proposals in the ARRA.
I wanted to repost this as a standalone because I believe this was one instance of Philadelphia getting it right.

This year I had the honor of working with Media Mobilizing Project (www.mediamobilizing.org) in their successful efforts at organizing the Digital Justice Coalition, a citywide coalition of Philadelphians ranging from PhillyFIGHT to SEIU to the Taxi Workers Union to the Public School Notebook, to come together to address the city’s digital divide (one of the worst in the nation.)
