WSCO Hosts Community Input Sessions on César Chávez Street Renaming
Digital Editor Aaliyah Demry previews three community input sessions hosted by the West Side Community Organization on the renaming of St. Paul's César Chávez Street, which follows sexual abuse allegations against the civil rights leader. Sessions run July 16, 25 and 28 at the Neighborhood House in St. Paul, with a community survey also open July 16 through 28 for residents unable to attend in person.
As the City of St. Paul moves to rename César Chávez Street, following sexual abuse allegations against the civil rights leader, the West Side Community Organization (WSCO) is working to ensure community input is heard throughout the process.
The group is hosting three community input sessions this month. On an event created on social media, organizers say they want to “hear directly from the people who walk Cesar Chavez Street, work on it, grew up on it, and call it home.”
Sessions Details:
- Thursday, July 16, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
- Saturday, July 25, 10 a.m. – noon
- Tuesday, July 28, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
The session takes place at the Neighborhood House, 179 Robie St. E in St. Paul.
You can also give input through a community survey that’s available from July 16 to 28.
WSCO’s mission is to organize the West Side community to build collective power to advance justice and racial equity for all people.
