The Power of Community

A Teach-in

on the Crisis of Affordable Housing

[the first in a series]

 

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

 

A teach-in is designed to educate about issues, develop organizing skills, and invent forms of political action (future topics will include the homeless crisis, police demilitarization, etc.) This will be a celebratory teach-in follow-up to Cheryl Davila’s election victory to initiate community defenses against gentrification.

Presenters

Damion McNeil – chair of Berkeley Housing Authority

Stephen Barton – formerly of the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board

Willie Cook – Affordable Housing developer

Christina Murphy – Dirrector of Drop-In Center, and a community organizer

 

They will speak on gentrification, how it destroys neighborhoods, and how Neighborhoods can defend themselves and fight back with neighborhood assemblies, autonomous (overlay) zoning, a seat at the development planning tables with a vote, and other means

sponsered by the Cheryl Davila Campaign Committee (www.cheryldavila.vote), The West Berkeley Teach-in Series, West Berkeley Neighbors (www.westberkeleyneighbors.blogspot.com), Friends of Adeline (www.friendsofadeline.org), BCA (BerkeleyCitizenAction.org), and others.
