Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Sign the coalition's petition, which is linked from nowacphila.org, or email northofwashingtonavecoalition@gmail.com to ask how to get involved. No meeting schedule is posted..
What to expect
The site does not describe meetings, so it is not clear what a visit would look like. Most of the public material is reports and guidelines about zoning and housing, and news is shared on its Facebook page. Ask the coalition for the next meeting or action before you go.
Tips for your first visit
- Email first, since no meeting time or place is posted.
- Read the conservation overlay report on the site to see what the coalition is working on.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Residents can sign a petition or send an email, but the site posts no meeting times, membership steps, or volunteer options, so the way in is unclear..
