Breonna Taylor should be celebrating her birthday today. Let's honor her life today, and every day and continue to call for #JusticeforBre. She was essential and her family needed her. @louisvillemayor, fire the officers now! Dial Fischer at 844-298-2731.

@US_IMLS so true! the ABCD Team has witnessed so many ways in which the #CommCatalyst libraries and museums are already great hubs of community and investors in / supporters of resident leadership. A focused conversation affirming that and thinking of how to grow that is so powerful

Museums and libraries themselves can be overlooked when it comes to community development. The thing is--using ABCD puts residents at the center, and libraries and museums bring so much to the table in community connections. #CommCatalyst

Q2: What assets—people, organizations, places, networks, etc.—are in your area that you could reach out to, engage, or partner with? Anything you've already done? #CommCatalyst

@meakilahb @beeclubforgirls EXACTLY! Beautifully put. You're doing that so well. I was so inspired by how you have built a clear structure for the girls in your club to grow into decision-makers and leaders themselves, and how you're matching assets you find in the school/community with theirs #CommCatalyst

It is so important for us, as program developers and institutional leaders, to use our power in ways that push citizens of traditionally underrepresented groups to the top of the power ladder. Our project w/ @beeclubforgirls works to help teen girls take the lead! #CommCatalyst

@US_IMLS well said! That will always be the case. Professionals can be great supporters of resident expertise and there is so much learning in how to do that well. But the payoff is immense!

@ALemoins @IMLSDirector @US_IMLS yes!!! agreed. the sustainability piece I think you all have already (and is hard for many) is that of resident ownership of the process, and building in processes for connecting and using assets as you find them... there are layers to sustainability! It can take so many forms

@Explora_NM @IMLSDirector we've so enjoyed working with your team in experimenting with ABCD concepts! You've been so creative and thoughtful about ways to build authentic relationships and grow leadership within your collaborations, as well as how ordinary residents may lead the way!

@EmoryRoseMARBL @IMLSDirector in working with the @EmoryRoseMARBL team, we were so impressed with their adaptability and courage in going out into community spaces without an agenda and made building relationships and trust their priority!

@IMLSDirector It was tough to find them at first, but once we made some good connections the Library has acted as a convener, and let our advisory group of activists work out the kind of project they want to see.

@IVMFSyracuseU well said! We've enjoyed seeing how @IVMFSyracuseU partners with libraries and also how you've practiced including veterans themselves as leaders and decision-makers in the work.

We've been exploring asset-based community development, or ABCD, for the past couple years at IMLS. We're excited to talk about your experiences, if any, with this approach. #CommCatalyst
