Co-Create. Collaborate. Change.

About the Event

Join us at the inaugural People’s Solutions Lab (click to read overview), a dynamic, hands-on gathering where activists, community members, and organizers will come together to co-design real-world solutions to the challenges that matter most to Clevelanders.

The People’s Solutions Lab is a collaborative initiative that empowers Cleveland community members to co-create practical, people-centered solutions to today’s most pressing issues. Rooted in equity, inclusion, and innovation, The People’s Solutions Lab brings together diverse voices—activists, community builders, and organizers —to imagine and implement strategies that are grounded in lived experience and driven by collective wisdom.

Through this participatory event, we seek to nurture real life ideas that will, in time, lead to transformational change. At its core, the People's Solutions Lab is not just about solving problems—it's about reshaping systems with and for the people most impacted by them. By the end of the event, our collective goals include:

  1. Ensure community members are #ElectionReady for the upcoming Municipal Primary and General Elections
  2. Engage in dialogue around what it takes to turn ideas and challenges into policy change
  3. Prepare to present and socialize our collective ideas with candidates running for office to educate them about our priorities.

Whether you're a community organizer, student, policy advocate, or someone passionate about building a more just and equitable future—you belong in this space. No expertise required—just your lived experience, curiosity, and commitment to making an impact.
