Mid-City Community Advocacy Network is a community collaborative based in City Heights, a dense and diverse urban community of about 95,000 people living within a 6.5 square mile area of San Diego. Our mission is to create a safe, productive, and healthy community through collaboration, advocacy, and organizing.
The City Heights Community Convening is held twice a year to gather current Building Healthy Community (BHC) grantees, former BHC grantees, City Heights residents, and partner organizations working to make this community a better place for everyone.
Featuring updates from The California Endowment, informative discussions on key issues, and team bonding activities, the community convening is a wonderful opportunity to engage those empowering City Heights and our San Diego region as a whole.
Our confirmed speakers so far are:

As an attendee, your investment will support advocacy, leadership development, and civic engagement work that build power and advance equity for City Heights and communities throughout San Diego and Southern California. Your support provides the framework of what can be accomplished when everyday people come together to accomplish the impossible.
Throughout the evening, we will honor legislative, advocacy, and community organizing champions for their commitment to building people power and advancing equity for City Heights and beyond! Nominations for community awards open May 25, 2019.
Thirty years of advocacy is quite an accomplishment, and we look forward to continuing our work and standing shoulder to shoulder with members of our community to foster resiliency, promote wellness and compassion, and build bridges of opportunity toward a more just society. Rising to New heights is an opportunity to thank those who have stood by our side while inviting new friends to help us write the next thirty years of Mid-City CAN history. We hope to see you there!
