Community Engagement Reporter Reginald David is hosting a Listening Session on February 25, 2026, at the Burroughs Community Center. This is an opportunity for residents to share their questions, concerns, and ideas about the city and their neighborhoods. Community voices help shape local coverage and strengthen conversations about the issues that matter most.

The session will be split into two parts to make sure more people can comfortably participate. From 4:30 to 5:30 PM, there will be a Spanish listening session with translators available. From 6:00 to 7:00 PM, the session will be held in English. Refreshments will be provided, and the space is intended to be welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

Residents are encouraged to bring a friend or invite a neighbor. Showing up is one way to support the community and make sure local concerns, experiences, and ideas are heard.

This event is free and open to everyone, with a special focus on Bridgeport residents who want to raise their voices and help shape the stories being told about their community.
