*Read*

*Priority Action List for Elevating Cambridge Black Owned Businesses* (This list was discussed with three Cambridge City Council Members at a Public Hearing last week)

1. *We Need Data* - We need to know the percentage of contracts the city trades with MWBEs broken down by demographics. The State of MA and City of Boston collect those numbers. How are we to know the progress of the City unless we have a way to measure it? 2. *Go beyond the Diversity Directory* - The Diversity Directory is good to have, but how is the city using it? Are there any goals for trading with MWBE’s? 3. * Understand Why Black businesses are Leaving Cambridge *- We need to know why Black businesses close and move out of Cambridge 4. *Develop Stronger Mandates for Affordable Rentals for Dormant Commercial Spaces*- We need to deal with the land bankers. Why are commercial rents so high in Cambridge when we have so many empty storefronts? If the commercial property remains vacant for a certain period of time, how about having those landlords offer low or free space to MWBE’s while empty or they pay city taxes for the equivalent that could be collected if rented? 5. *Update the Zoning Table of Uses* - They are antiquated and have not been updated for decades. They are impeding the growth of many entrepreneurs, especially retail and food makers 6. * Increase the Number of Black owned Restaurants, Liquor License holders, and Retailers in Cambridge* - There are less than 5 black owned restaurants out of over 475( pre-pandemic) restaurants in Cambridge and only 2 black owned full liquor licensee holders, and one is owned by a social club 7. *Address Lack of Diversity of Businesses in our Squares* - These high traffic areas are untouchable for Black business owners 8. * Increase Capacity of Commercial Kitchen Space in Cambridge* - Support permitted Residential Kitchens, offer commercial kitchen space for food makers, and seasonal caterers--many of whom are women and minority owned businesses or self employed workers. There are very few places local food makers can go in Cambridge to start a food business--they have to go to Boston or Somerville for this support 9. *Provide More Pop-up and Market Spaces* - Since commercial rents are unaffordable, we need to use city property (or private property) for flea markets, pop up spaces for entrepreneurs in high traffic areas--not a side street with no traffic 10. *Offer Access to Low Tech Incubator Space* - There are spaces and places for high tech and biotech in Cambridge. How about supporting low tech? 11. * Offer a “Bow Market” Concept in Cambridge* - We need small business community spaces with shared resources.

*Covid-19* *Still collecting* *Food and Diapers* *for Chelsea families* Non-perishable food, diapers and infant formula. More families than ever are lining up at the Chelsea Collaborative emergency food pantry. And people are coming from other towns. No one is turned away. *The next delivery will go Thursday December 3 at 11 am.* Bring donations to my house 74R Fayerweather Street (you can put them in the brown Subaru in my driveway off Huron Ave next to the post for 320 Huron Ave *or *by my front door if the car is missing). Thank you to everyone who has made donations so far.

*Face Masks Still Needed **for Vulnerable People in Cambridge* More face masks are needed as more people venture out and school begins (in some form). Cambridge non-profits still need more face masks for their clients – for example Cambridge Community Center is sharing them with people coming to their food pantry. I still have supplies outside my front door at 74R Fayerweather Street and a box for returning finished Face Masks which I will distribute. We have made and donated more than 3200 Face Masks since late March! Thank you!

*Upcoming Breakfast Gatherings*

In other future weekly ZOOM *Breakfast Gatherings*, we will continue to discuss and examine several questions about wealth, housing and zoning, health, policing, employment, education and more through the lens of racial justice (and injustice) asking: What is causing continued racial inequities? How can we be more equity conscious? How can we become more proactive about racial justice rather than reactive? How can we focus on race explicitly but not exclusively?

Please email me with suggestions for future conversations.

Hoping to see you virtually tomorrow *Wednesday November 25 from 8-9 am* (with continuing conversation to 9:30 for those who can stay on).

As always, please invite others you think may be interested.

All the very best, Lori

*Poems and Meditations for this fraught time*

*Offering* by Jean Dany Joachim November 8, 2020

I am the poem without words; I will not be read or said aloud. I must now stand aside As I leave the page as an offering.

Come, and come all To write the collective voice. Write the redemption poem With your slogans from the last protests And whispers of endless nights of prayers. Write down the paths to follow. Write your hopeful days.

Write all that is said, all that is heard, Along with the children’s dreams With their colors and divergences. Write the land as it stands; Let the page be a mirror…

I am the poem without words; I will not be read or said aloud. Here, I take my leave.
