Since
March, a strong coalition of union members, tenants, residents, autoworkers and
faith leaders have been working to make sure that changes to Jerome Ave benefit
the community. They’ve held 5 community
visioning sessions and collected over 500 surveys, engaging more than 1,500
residents about the rezoning process.
The City is
changing and they believe that there is a way to do it right. They want change and progress, but not at the
cost of exploitation, harassment and displacement.
They’ve
developed a set of policy recommendations that translate the four main
principles, REAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING, GOOD JOBS AND LOCAL HIRE, STRONG ANTI
HARASSMENT AND ANTI DISPLACEMENT POLICIES AND REAL COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION,
into action!
