PODER, along with other member organizations from the Race & Equity in all Planning Coalition recently rallied to ensure City Hall adopts REP’s Citywide People’s Plan in their proposed Housing Element.
PODER, junto con otras organizaciones miembros de Race & Equity in all Planning Coalition, se unieron recientemente para garantizar que el ayuntamiento adopte el Plan de personas para toda la ciudad de REP en su Elemento de vivienda propuesto.
The current Housing Element works against racial and social equity, and threatens to have even more devastating impacts on vulnerable communities than Redevelopment did. As a response a series of recommendations gathered from the voices of those most impacted by displacement have been formalized as The Citywide People’s Plan. This plan prioritizes neighborhood and community expertise to actively and meaningfully participate in development and land use decisions. It ensures the next eight years of development are people centered.
El Elemento de Vivienda actual va en contra de la equidad racial y social, y amenaza con tener impactos aún más devastadores en las comunidades vulnerables que el Reurbanización. Como respuesta, se ha formalizado una serie de recomendaciones recogidas de las voces de las personas más afectadas por el desplazamiento como el Plan de la gente para toda la ciudad. Este plan prioriza la experiencia del vecindario y la comunidad para participar activa y significativamente en las decisiones de desarrollo y uso de la tierra. Garantiza que los próximos ocho años de desarrollo estén centrados en las personas.
Knowing that the choices made now are essential to the survival of our communities, we assembled at City Hall to pressure for the Peoples Plan to be adopted. After a powerful rally and extended debate from the board of supervisors, member organizations waited patiently to give public comment. Inside of San Francisco City Hall, community leaders gave their public comment late into the evening, emphasizing the importance of listening to grassroots leadership.
The uncertainty and fear faced by immigrants living in the United States without immigration status is real. With this project, we have given ourselves the task of bringing the most relevant information so that immigrant families have the needed resources to defend themselves, The stories in this zine are the true stories of working families who struggle every day to raise their children, working with dignity and contributing to their communities daily.
As always, the strong showing of people-power positions us to continue applying pressure to the City Planning Department to ensure the Housing Element addresess community needs. Similarly, the board of supervisors needs to follow through with commitments to make affordable housing and equity a high priority on their agendas.
Como siempre, la fuerte demostración del poder de la gente nos posiciona para continuar presionando al Departamento de Planificación de la Ciudad para garantizar que el Elemento de Vivienda aborde las necesidades de la comunidad. De manera similar, la junta de supervisores debe cumplir con los compromisos de hacer que la vivienda asequible y la equidad sean una alta prioridad en sus agendas.
