We're changing our name from Equitable and Just Platform for Pittsburgh to Equitable and Just Greater Pittsburgh to better reflect who's included and what this work is all about. One of the core beliefs of EJGP is that we and the challenges we face don't stop at the neighborhood or municipal boundaries. 

Happy Black History Month! We have been hard at work over the last few months engaging with you and others, revising and expanding the platform, and planning for the future. We are almost ready to launch the EJPP Full Platform and we can't wait to share it with you.
