SAVE MIDDLE EAST ACTION COMMITTEE, INC.
A RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSAL FOR A BIOTECH PARK
IN EAST BALTIMORE
PRINCIPLES
We have adapted an asset-based approach to building community. Adopting principles
developed used by Bethel New Life in Chicago and the Boston Community Building Network
this approach represents a fundamental shift from servicing the deficits of people and
communities to investing in their potential. It is a shift:
FROM a focus on deficits and problems
TO a focus on assets and strengths
FROM remedial intervention
TO capacity-building initiatives
FROM crisis oriented programs
TO preventive programs
FROM inadequate public assistance
TO jobs at living wages with benefits
FROM targeted programs for the poor
TO universal access to basic opportunities
FROM fragmented services
TO Family-centered, integrated services
FROM assistance with consumption
TO assistance with investment
FROM "expert" solutions
TO participatory research and development
FROM special interest group lobbying
TO coalitions and collaborative agendas
FROM poverty as a "social" issue
TO poverty in a global economic context
