Carbondale volunteers launch WhatsApp channel, push Spanish outreach for tactical urbanism safety survey
Summary
Local volunteers formalized a WhatsApp channel and agreed to bilingual, in-person outreach to boost Spanish-speaking participation in a temporary tactical urbanism safety survey that runs through Oct. 1.
Carbondale community volunteers on Tuesday confirmed their groupWhatsApp channel is official through Oct. 1 and outlined a plan to increase Spanish-language responses to a tactical urbanism safety survey.
