Community Voices
Today, we launch Community Voices
It’s Lookout’s opinion section for the many challenges of the 2020s. Let’s meet them squarely, rounding up and debating the best ideas among us.
Community Voices is here: Dive into Santa Cruz’s new opinion forum
Santa Cruz lives the challenges facing the nation. Our issues of affordability, water use, homelessness, climate change, racial inequality, generational equity, impartial justice and friction over growth mirror those faced across the country. We’re also a community that cares about beauty, art, books, poetry and living a rich, meaningful life. We have much to say, and much to say to each other. This is a space to say it.
