Cultural Plan
How do you stimulate innovative and creative communities and provide opportunities to enable members of those communities to not just survive, but prosper? How do you keep your community and cultural identity in the face of overwhelming population growth? How do you manage the change and protect quality of life, while welcoming and including "newcomers" in the face of increasing urbanization?

Cultural Partners
The Black Men's Political Task Force has been formed to partnership with the City of Boston to develop and implement a Cultural Plan on an ongoing basis. The Cultural Partners have responsibilities to drive certain elements of the Cultural Plan and are an important part of the continuing community engagement which is a cornerstone of the Cultural Plan.
Developing a cultural plan for the community in partnership with the city of Boston can help to ensure that the community's needs and desires are reflected in local legislation and policy-making. By engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders and incorporating community feedback into the planning process, the resulting cultural plan can help to identify and address the cultural and social issues facing the community.
In order to ensure that the cultural plan has an impact on legislation and policy-making, it is important to maintain ongoing communication and collaboration with city officials and other stakeholders. This could involve presenting the plan to city council members or other policymakers, hosting public meetings to discuss the plan's progress, and advocating for the plan's goals and objectives through various channels, such as social media or community newsletters. Ultimately, developing a cultural plan in partnership with the city of Boston can help to ensure that the community's cultural and social needs are taken into account when making decisions about legislation and policy-making. While the plan itself may not guarantee representation in these processes, it can serve as a powerful tool for advocating for the community's interests and priorities.
