They said no one they know who is their age plans to live in #MontgomeryCountyMD, it’s just too expensive. #gaithersburg #rockville #moco #capitalism by @futurevoicesmoco

If Black people are at the top, what is the problem? @zsj__40 co-founder and co-executive director of @racialjusticenow talks about her work and why she does it.

Many of the “Top Dogs” in leadership are Black in Montgomery County, MD. Elected officials, county, government directors, the Black who’s who occupy the top spaces.

Yet, only 38% of Black children are reading on grade level. Half of the defendants in our court system are Black. Black boys are 87% of those in juvenile detention centers. 50% of those counted as homeless last year were Black men.

No public outcry. Black people don’t matter.

The data tells it all but there is no targeted intervention geared to the Black experience in Montgomery County. #blackexperience #montgomerycountymd #gaithersburg #rockville #montgomeryvillage taken in Gaithersburg, Maryland by @futurevoicesmoco

The residents of Hillside Senior Living Apartments in Gaithersburg have something to say, and I want our community to hear them.

They will join us this Saturday at the State of Mid-County Communities Summit to talk about what aging in place actually looks like when residents face concerns about safety and building conditions and struggle to get timely responses.

Aging in place means more than being able to stay in your apartment. It means being safe, being heard, and being able to count on someone to respond when something is wrong.

Come listen to the people living this experience and help us ask what needs to change.

Saturday, September 26 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Quince Orchard High School, Gaithersburg
