On February 20th, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the Bay Area's regional authority in charge of billions of dollars to fund land use and transit projects, is hosting a forum to discuss displacement.

Tell powerful decision-makers that we need action! Too often, marginalized communities are left out of planning decisions that directly impact their neighborhoods. Join us on February 20th to:

• Share your stories of struggle with displacement and gentrification

• Hold people in power accountable for their inaction and advance community-based solutions for the renters' crisis

• Show our collective regional power

Note: this is not a cohousing-focussed event, but we're supporting it as allies.
