INVEST IN NEIGHBOHOODS, PROTECT OUR PEOPLE, BUILD WHAT'S BEEN DENIED
Building a District 2 where dignity, safety, and opportunity are non-negotiable.
Where you live—and the quality of the environment around you—is one of the most powerful influences on your life. Every person deserves a decent home, vibrant public spaces, and infrastructure that supports their well-being. Monica Walker’s priorities are grounded in the belief that when we repair what’s been broken by design, we create a more just, more livable city for everyone.
Targeted Reinvestment & Redevelopment
For decades, too many of Greensboro’s communities—especially in District 2—have suffered from the legacy of redlining, disinvestment, and neglect.
Infrastructure isn’t just about roads and pipes—it’s about dignity, health, and opportunity. Monica will fight for targeted reinvestment in neighborhoods across the district by ensuring:
-
Clean water access
-
Reliable transit
-
Safe, walkable parks and sidewalks
-
Stormwater systems that actually protect our communities
We must treat infrastructure as a tool for healing, not just maintenance.
Expanding Housing Opportunities
Our housing policies must do more than add units—they must repair the damage of disinvestment and displacement, and they must do it without overburdening any one community.
Monica’s housing agenda includes:
-
Investing in mixed-income developments
-
Strengthening tenant protections
-
Supporting land trusts and community ownership models
-
Ending policies that concentrate poverty or displace families
“Where people live shapes every part of their lives—health, education, safety, and opportunity. If we want equity, we must repair the systems that sorted, segregated, and disinvested our communities by design.”
Addressing the Root Causes of Crime and Violence
Crime and violence don’t happen in a vacuum—they’re outcomes of systems that have failed to provide opportunity, stability, and safety.
Monica believes in public safety that centers prevention, not just punishment. We must:
-
Build environments that promote dignity and mutual respect
-
Create opportunities that give people a sense of self-worth
-
Shift from control to transformation in how we approach justice
Public safety should be about people—not power.
Environmental Protection for All Communities
Every community deserves clean air, safe water, and protection from environmental harm. For far too long, low-income neighborhoods have carried the weight of pollution and environmental neglect.
Monica will prioritize environmental justice by:
-
Holding polluters accountable
-
Investing in green infrastructure
-
Expanding tree cover and flood protections in vulnerable areas
-
Ensuring sustainability efforts reflect the voices and leadership of impacted communities
Environmental justice is not optional—it’s essential.
Bottom Line
Monica Walker believes this isn’t about fixing people—it’s about fixing the systems that have failed them.
This campaign is about reimagining what’s possible: a District 2 where justice, economic development, and infrastructure work together, not in competition.
Let’s build that future—together.
