A9: That our youth want to live here. Manufacturing workers have dignified jobs they r proud of. Work is rooted & has permanence. Work isn’t easily extracted. Highest saturation of democratically run workplaces w/ access to equity & ownership. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
English
A8: #LocallyOwned businesses are key! @AshevilleGrown, one of the strongest #GoLocal campaigns is our ally here in #WNC! Absentee ownership is extractive and doesn't build community wealth or real opportunity for equity. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge ow.ly/tFeW30mce1t
English
A7: Our poverty rate is nearly 20% but our unemployment rate is 3.7%. People are working but many of the jobs aren’t #goodjobs. They aren’t jobs that build opportunities, dignity and livelihoods 4 families. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge @facingsouth ow.ly/XcqQ30mcdSE

A6: Agency, voice, ownership, dignity, power. We specifically work in manufacturing and feel that these aspects (pay, benefits, etc.) are just foundational. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge youtu.be/9LZKEwUmx_A

A5: In between. We talk a lot about the difference between desperation and urgency. We have a sense of urgency that we need to improve the jobs and change traditional companies quickly, before they r lost. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge ow.ly/H1Et30mcdqs @projectequity

A4: We love @SelfHelpCU, they help frontline workers gain access to economic self sufficiency. We also love the stories coming from Work in Burke @BurkeDevInc highlighting youth building a positive future in #manufacturing. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
English
A#3: Make a list of your values, let them guide your work, your interactions with others, the people you serve, the organizations you partner with. If you know the “why” behind your work then the “how” will come much easier. #ListsAreCool #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
