Why Walmart is great?
This flyer, with no organizational affiliation disclosed, is being distributed door-to-door to households in Ward 4. I presume it is being distributed in Ward 5 and Ward 7 neighborhoods, with regard to similar projects proposed for those communities.
I doubt it's being distributed in Ward 6, because the Walmart proposed for the New Jersey Avenue NW site is a straight up matter of right project, with no opportunity for community input.
The sign shown below is distributed by the community coalition advocating for a community benefits agreement with Walmart. See "A Tale of Two City Councils" from the Washington City Paper.
Walmart: Respect DC protest sign, on West Virginia Avenue NE.
Labels: building a local economy, civic engagement, co-optation, protest and advocacy
