These Grays Ferry neighborhood groups used to work as opponents, their relationships fraught with tension. Then they decided to unite to protect their neighborhood.
“We’re able to get information out to the community faster with a broader audience.”Those divisions embedded themselves across neighborhood groups for years, so when the coalition was forming, Reeves, who heads the Tasker-Morris Neighbors Association among other community groups, had his work cut out for him.
A lot of the tension was specifically with the Grays Ferry Community Council , Outlaw said — the oldest registered community organization in the neighborhood, which was predominantly white for much of its history. The GFCC’s outreach in Black communities particularly was poor, with residents unaware of resources or initiatives taking place in the neighborhood.
“We all have different skills. Some are more connected to the community, others are more administratively skilled,” Zulli said. “We used to see fierce opposition to zoning matters that people didn’t understand. Now things are flowing smoothly, we’re able to get information out to the community faster with a broader audience, and it’s really working.”
