Mayor Michael Passero writes about the impact of the city of New London’s partnership with FFI. Together, we are shifting how leaders and residents see their roles in building a city where everyone has a fair shot at wellbeing.
Passero says, “The stories we tell determine how we understand the problems facing our city. They also determine the solutions we choose to invest in. If we make the wrong assumptions about the causes of a problem, they can quickly lead to solutions that benefit some while leaving others behind.”
Katya sat down with Equal Measure President and CEO Leon T. Andrews, Jr. to discuss the five domains of wellbeing, the importance of sustained funding for systems change, and FFI’s closure this year.
