ECONOMIC INVESTMENT
WITHOUT DISPLACEMENT
OFFICIALS WITHIN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM WILL DEMONSTRATE THEIR COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING FOR SOCIALLY JUST ECONOMIC INVESTMENT BY:
Prioritizing the needs of community members, especially populations that are susceptible to the effects of widening income inequality
Emphasizing building healthy communities in disadvantaged neighborhoods: good schools, healthy food, public transit, nearby employment opportunities, and green space
Working to ensure development projects support and uplift the communities most vulnerable to displacement (ensuring community members are the table in planning processes), so that residents struggling with cost of living increases are able to stay in their neighborhoods and enjoy the benefits of new public investments
Working to mitigate and proactively plan policies that will prevent the displacement of existing residents and businesses by development
Committing to closing the housing wealth gap (e.g. via Black homeownership)
