Philly Resolve / equalinfo215 engagement - initial reach out

[annetpark1]

Came across Instagram posts by equalinfo215 that focused on free resource sharing (they also have a textline for resource sharing https://resolvephilly.org/equal-info-text-line/). This is a service offered by Resolve Philly, a journalism organization focused on solutions and community engagement - I'm not familiar with them, but seems like a cool group potentially

Hello!

I'm a volunteer contributing to a project called PHLASK, a website that helps people find free essential resources around Philly, like locations for water, food, foraging, and bathrooms (you can check out the site here: https://phlask.me/). I'm reaching out because I came across your Instagram posts with equalinfo215 related to sharing about free resources in Philly, and was hoping our teams might be able to find ways to collaborate! For example, the PHLASK team would love to include the locations of free pop-ups you've identified on our map, if that sounds like it could be helpful to your followers. I was also impressed by your team's thoughtful approach to community engagement, and would love to learn more about your process.

Please let me know if you'd like to schedule some time to chat more about the PHLASK project and discuss potential ways for our teams to collaborate in the future!

Thanks,
Anne
