The
residents of the Arlington District formed Arlington
Community Trabajando in the fall of 1996. The catalyst for the
establishment of the organization was the Malden Mills fire
--which threatened to leave unemployed 50% of the residents--
and the October 1996 Spicket River Floods that caused severe
damage to homes along the river. Since then,
ACT has
been organizing the community around issues of importance to
area residents and developing programs that benefit and
empower this community.
