Cincinnati Change's Universal Access Program

Cincinnati Change, an Ohio not for profit company established in 1998, believes that one of the prime causes of crime is poverty and that we can change the conditions from which crime takes root in Southern Ohio is creating with McGraw Daniels, LLC (MDi) as its minority partner and contractor.

Cincinnati Change, through MDi, is creating collaborative small business development program that uses universal broadband internet to address poverty through building technology into homes using a motivational support skill-set-training job creation initiative .

It is Cincinnati Change’s mission to change the conditions in which children live so that they can grow up and become productive adults in a nurturing and supportive community environment where they have equal access to the global digital world.

We plan of developing a county wide network using foreclosed and troubled homes as network access points in their reworked loans.

Erase the Digital Divide (Universal Access Broadband) National Policy

The United States currently has no national broadband policy to offer every American access to affordable high-speed Internet connections. "Broadband will soon be an indispensable communication technology affecting the way we learn, the way we work, and the way we communicate," stated Charles Benton, chairman and CEO of the Benton Foundation. "However, at the dawn of this Digital Age, those who could benefit the most from this economically empowering technology are also those most likely to be left without access because of where they live or how much money they make." Roughly half of the country's households still lack broadband connections, and the United States continues to fall further behind with less than 79 million home out of the 120 million homes in the United States (US Census Data) connected to a broadband network. We will demonstrate for the next President a solution in Hamilton County that Eases the Digital Divide.

Cincinnati Change intends to partner to leverage financial instruments in Southern Ohio with Federal, State and local public funding and private capital building in Cincinnati under the Community Reinvestment Act. Cincinnati Change will use MDi and its partner OneCommunity to combine technology company investment and gifts together in support of Greater Cincinnati’s underserved communities while fostering best of class public service technology for all of Cincinnati’s residents. This technology can then be used on a day to day basis as a service bureau for other governmental agencies who can act as revenue anticipation stakeholders thereby reducing their capital expediters.

The business model we will utilized to foster the ability to acquire and/or repair existing buildings that will house technologies supporting the Cincinnati Change Universal Access Program, which will adopt the MDi & OneCommunity Universal Access Program for implementation in Southern Ohio. Under Cincinnati Change, each house in the City of Cincinnati will have fiber installed and a wireless network access point connected to an open source server and sensor package.

Cincinnati Change which has been a member of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) who since its inception in 1990 has spearheaded the economic justice movement. NCRC is the nation’s trade association for economic justice. Cincinnati Change has been a member since 2000. We have and will continue to draw on the expertise and experience of the board members and staff of NCRC in developing Cincinnati Change’s plans. Through NCRC, Cincinnati Change is associated with more than 600 community-based institutions (including public sector agencies and elected officials) that promote access to basic banking services, including credit and savings. Cincinnati Change’s goal, like NCRC’s, is to create and sustain affordable housing, job development and vibrant communities for America's working families.

NCRC’s mission dovetails with Cincinnati Change’s in building wealth in traditionally underserved communities in Greater Cincinnati and bringing low and or moderate-income people in Southern Ohio into the new financial mainstream being shaped daily. NCRC members have constituents in every state in both rural and urban areas. The organization has held ongoing meetings with major financial institutions and, on 9/21/08, with the Chairman of the Federal Reserve System Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve System’s Offices in Washington DC in regards to the current financial crisis.

Cincinnati Change believes that declining assets in the form of foreclosures are dragging down the economy Continued shortsighted attempts to provide liquidity to financial institutions will not resolve the issue unless Americans have equal relief.

Like Cincinnati Change, the Board of Directors of NCRC believe that before acting to shore up Wall Street, the government should first provide assistance to homeowners to avoid foreclosure, the core problem rocking the financial system, and then act to help Wall Street out of its current crisis.

Cincinnati Change beliefs.

CINCINNATI CHANGE is moving forward on our agreement between us and the residents of the cities Empowerment Zone.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that America must lead the world through progressive internationalism -- the bold exercise of U.S. leadership to foster peace, prosperity, and democracy. Working with allies from Cincinnati and international institutions makes us stronger, not weaker.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom and in the faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, justice and peace in the world.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that America must lead the world and through its cooperative domination create solutions that serve the needs of Americans and those people who join in the freedoms enshrined in our constitution. The central mission of our time is to make the world safer and defend America's security with the ideals and aspirations enshrined in the creation of the United States of America and the ideals embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between people and that through this organization the founders will create the capacity to be an instrument in creating the initiatives that will make it happen.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that we in Cincinnati must work together to make a change. In this regard, Cincinnati Change encourages increased economic stability in a given community through the creation of businesses where the owners have an understanding of the financial marketplace and these for profit community sponsored businesses are in part owned by a non profit enterprise that would invest in the people, families and communities of Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that one of crucial root causes of crime is poverty and that we can change the conditions from which crime takes root. It is a mission of Cincinnati Change to change the conditions in which children live so that they can grow up and become adults in a nurturing and supportive community environment.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that once its economic development programs are in place, that the number of those who break the law as a survival tactic will be reduced. We are specifically putting place programs that help ex-criminals get a job and or start a businesses as well as prevent the culture that aids in the creation of a lawless society in Cincinnati through the creation of centers of assistance that support reentry, business creation and employment.

CINCINNATI CHANGE subscribes, in part, to the theory that there are about 38 million people who are the movers and shakers in today's economy -- the so called Creative Class. In general, they are software developers, scientists, successful executives and the many others who lead their respective professions in new directions through creative thought and have the ability to see their thoughts into action. Cincinnati Change will put into effect a program to support those who have the skills to join this creative class. We will organize other programs to draw from all segments of Cincinnati to train a new Cincinnati Creative Class through alliances with schools that will produce the workforce that grows businesses enterprises profits.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes the heart of this new class is the super-creative people: architects, engineers, cinematographers, game developers, poets and novelists, professors, software engineers, high-tech workers, health care and researchers. Then come the creative professionals who work in marketing, advertising, public relations, branding, legal professions, and those in business management in charge of sales. Next are the musicians, dancers, artists and others who create content. It is not a new idea that creativity comes from human beings and that they are mobile. We believe that we can increase their stay in Cincinnati through their childbearing years. We will through the development of high quality apartment and condominium living for high-income singles increases the stay from this class above the national average of 3.1 years. We will bring, and or develop, 10,000 creative class workers under 30 in Cincinnati by 2010 for a stay of at least three years, for many well into their childbearing years, in jobs created because of Cincinnati Change partners with the hope that they will stay.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that many want to be, can be or are teachers who through Cincinnati Change will stay in Cincinnati beyond today's average worker stay at a job if we can put in place the resources that nurture their development. Through Cincinnati Change, young families of the creative class will have access to world-class schools and research centers in subjects that lead to inclusion in advanced employment by employers of this class.

CINCINNATI CHANGE is committed to the vision of creating strong African American and other families, individuals and businesses who live in a multicultural, multiethnic and multiracial society successfully. We have licensed a business process that we believe can be applied to Cincinnati to grow citizens who are fully educated, employed, empowered and who have access to world-class quality health care services who will be able to live in safe neighborhoods in lead free quality housing.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that if you are poor in the rural setting where everyone is working but poor, its different. It's tougher to be an urban dweller and poor, because rich people can be seen all around.

CINCINNATI CHANGE knows that in the Tristate many poor Cincinnati residents have a high degree of desperation and hopelessness along with the belief that things can't change. Cincinnati Change was created to change this perception by action; we will walk the walk, not talk the talk - join us in changing Cincinnati in our lifetime.

CINCINNATI CHANGE believes that it can implement a multi year community development process through which an individual, or a family, and or a community service institution can be made part of a coalition to support communities develop and successfully sustain themselves to change Cincinnati for the betterment of all its citizens and thereby the region.
