Right now, the City of Sacramento is considering changes that could weaken protections for some of our most important historic neighborhoods—including the city’s Black Historic District, which holds deep cultural and community value. If these protections are lost, we risk erasing a vital part of Sacramento’s history. The Community Engagement Center is stepping in to make sure more residents have an easy way to share their voices with City Council. Our mission has always been to innovate democracy and give underrepresented communities better access to civic participation, and this campaign is one example of that work. In doing so, we’re also proud to stand alongside Preservation Sacramento, whose mission is to protect and celebrate the city’s historic architecture. Together, we can make sure decisions about Sacramento’s history reflect the voices of the people who live here.
