About the event

Show and Tell: Poverty, Politics and Profit
📢 Community Invitation – Show & Tell, Documentary Viewing & Conversation Series

Friends, I want to be transparent about something important.
Following a directive from the City Manager’s office, I’ve been told to discontinue organizing cleanups in the Canal District.

While I am not allowed to organize cleanups, I am fully within my rights to continue hosting community conversations and documentary viewings about the issues that matter most—homelessness, public health, addiction recovery, mental health, placemaking, and creating safe, vibrant spaces.

We are extending a special invitation to professionals in the fields of mental health, addiction services, housing, and community development—as well as residents, business owners, students, artists, and anyone who cares about Worcester’s future—to join us.

The purpose of these gatherings is not to debate, but to strategize. The City Manager has put out a public call to residents and organizations, and this is our opportunity to answer that call together.

Let’s be legendary together as we show pride in our community and work to make it a safe, clean place with plenty of things to see and do—regardless of background or circumstance. We want true community buy-in and input on the path forward.



💬 Join us for our next Show & Tell Documentary Viewing & Community Conversation

This is more than a screening—it’s a chance to connect, share insights, and start shaping solutions that turn dialogue into action. If, after our conversations, community members wish to organize their own activities, they are free to do so.

Together, we can create spaces where community, culture, and commerce unite.
