John Legend Selects Alabama for one of 10 "Human Level" Cities

 


 

From a John Legend News Release:

 

This national initiative includes an executive fellowship program, in partnership with FUSE Corps, a national nonprofit with a decade of experience in this field, that will place executive fellows in 11 communities: Atlanta, Austin, Birmingham, Durham, Houston, Los Angeles,Milwaukee, New Orleans, Oakland, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. -- cities and counties that collectively represent over 20 million people. These fellows will work with local communities, while working towards sustainable and equitable policies in the areas of jobs, housing, education, health, and the criminal justice system.

 

“We’ve started an initiative called HUMANLEVEL where local governments have invited us to work on specific projects to make their communities stronger and more equitable. Many of the problems our country faces today are difficult to address at the federal level. Many issues are really at the doorstep of your mayor, your county council, and your community leaders coming together to answer questions about how we can support each other, keep each other safe, and rebuild our country in a way that truly includes everyone.” said John Legend.
HERE is a Washington Post interview with Legend about the project.
