Description

--abajo en español--

The affordability crisis in NYC is extreme as landlords and real estate developers make huge profits while pushing us out of our homes and neighborhoods. Although there are dozens of amazing local groups and citywide coalitions fighting displacement, our campaigns and our communities can feel isolated from one another.

Join housing justice organizers, anti-displacement activists and tenant leaders from across NYC for a 5-hour convergence to share best practices from the frontlines, build community over food, and draw from our collective creativity to broaden the movement.

--interactive agenda includes--

  • DEEP THOUGHTS - Spectrum exercise to address critical questions facing the movement against displacement.
  • MAPPING THE MOVEMENT - Collectively visualizing all the organizations and coalitions leading the fight and where there are gaps and opportunities for more collaboration.
  • SPEED-DATING - Meet 6 groups with unique organizing models as we rotate around the space and share stories and successful approaches.
  • BREAKOUT TRAININGS & STRATEGY SESSIONS - Learn how to organize your building, win community demands thru rezoning fights, use arts and media to expand your reach, bone up on the basics of tenants rights, and plan locally for the upcoming National Renters Day of Action (Sept. 22nd).
  • COMMUNAL DINNER - Enjoy a meal prepared by the Mayday Kitchen Collective and the company of your colleagues and comrades.
  • OUR VISION FOR GOING VIRAL - Closeout conversation on how to take the fight against displacement, particularly in low-income and POC communities, to the next level.
  • AFTER-PARTY - Details TBA!

CONVERGENCIA de toda le ciudad CONTRA el DESPLAZAMIENTO

La crisis de asequibilidad en Nueva York es extrema ya que los caseros y desarrolladores de vivienda tienen enormes ganancias, y al mismo tiempo provocan nuestro desplazamiento de nuestros hogares y vecindarios.

Aunque hay docenas de grupos sorprendentes locales y coaliciones a nivel de toda la ciudad que luchan contra el desplazamiento, nuestras campañas y nuestras comunidades se pueden sentir aislados los unos de los otros.

Únete a organizadores comunitarios de justicia en vivienda, activistas de anti-desplazamiento e inquilinos líderes de toda la ciudad de Nueva York para esta convergencia de 5 horas. Compartiremos mejores prácticas, construiremos comunidad al comer juntos, y sacaremos provecho de nuestra creatividad colectiva para ampliar el movimiento.

La agenda interactiva incluye:

  • PENSAMIENTOS PROFUNDOS- ejercicio de espectros para abordar cuestiones críticas que enfrenta el movimiento contra el desplazamiento.
  • MAPEO del MOVIMIENTO - Colectivamente visualizar todas las organizaciones y coaliciones que lideran la lucha y donde hay espacio y oportunidades para una mayor colaboración.
  • CITAS RÁPIDAS- 6 grupos compartirán sus modelos únicos de organización a medida que giran alrededor del espacio compartiendo historias de acciones y enfoques exitosos.
  • GRUPOS DE ENTRENAMIENTOS Y SESIONES DE ESTRATEGIA - Aprende a organizar tu edificio, ganar demandas para la comunidad a través de los campañas de rezonificación, el utilizar artes y los medios de comunicación para ampliar su alcance, ponerse al tanto sobre los fundamentos de los derechos de los inquilinos, y aprender más sobre el plan local para el próximo Día Nacional de Acción de los Inquilinos ( 22 de septiembre de 2016).
  • CENA COMUNITARIA - disfruta de una comida preparada por el Colectivo de Cocina Mayday en compañía de tus colegas y compañerxs de lucha.
  • NUESTRA VISIÓN PARA IR VIRAL - Cierre de la conversación sobre la manera de llevar la lucha contra el desplazamiento, especialmente en las comunidades de bajos ingresos y personas de color, al siguiente nivel.
  • FIESTA! - se anunciaran los detalles!
