b'The City cannot solve every problem or provide every service on its own. Cambridge is fortunate to have so many incredible community partners, like the Cambridge Community Foundation, that focuson improving the lives of our residents through close collaborationswith the mayor and the city administration. Louis A. DePasquale, Cambridges city managerIm so grateful to support initiatives that address issues I care passionately about, like the fate of pollinators in a world ravaged by climate change, and the humanitarian crisis of our immigrant neighbors. Somervilles Community Growing Center and the United Legal Defense Fund for Immigrants share a common theme: the butterfly, a symbolfor immigrant justice. Migration is beautiful.Patricia Wild, Somerville resident and CCF volunteerCambridge is a vibrant city with loads of resources and a great community of artists. A place that values and promotes the arts will always be special. I know that we can work more effectively togetherto develop and protect the things that work well in Cambridge. Jean-Dany Joachim, poet and adjunct atBunker Hill Community CollegeCambridge is such a rich city, with so many types of people.That is what gives me life; it feeds my need for having different experiences and seeing through various lenses. Im forever on acultural competency journey, and living here helps me on that journey. I hope we can preserve our diversity in its broadest senseour diversity of cultures, of socio-economic backgrounds, of languages,of truths, of experiences, of ages.Alanna Mallon, city councillor and chair of theMayors Arts Task ForceWe have the power to do something and we should. Cambridge is the kind of community you want to fight for and steer in the right direction, and as the community engages, the Foundation is supporting it all the way. The Foundation is the foundation; its not a community centerits the center of the community.Michael Monestime, Central Square Business Improvement District W H Y W E C A R E executive director and CCF board memberPhotos: courtesy of the City Managers Office; by Lauren Marshall; by Lauren Marshall; courtesy of Alanna Mallon; by Kyle Klein10'
