Join us for the Community Care Gathering on Tuesday, November 12th at 6:00 PM at the Fourth Plain Community Commons—a space created to hold, honor, and strengthen our community. As you allow yourself to feel today, remember that rest, collective care, and mutual aid are all forms of resistance. We recognize the wide range of emotions many of us may be feeling right now and the deep questions that this moment brings about the future of our communities, our values, and the work we are called to do. In the face of these challenges, let’s come together to reflect, support, and rise with one another. Together, we will process, strategize, and reaffirm our commitment to justice, equity, and progress. 🗓️ Date: Tuesday, Nov. 12th 🕕 Time: 6:00 - 7:30 PM 📍 Location: Fourth Plain Community Commons, 3101 E 4th Plain Blvd Ste.101, Vancouver, WA 98661 Let’s continue to lift each other up and move forward—stronger together. #CommunityCare #TogetherWeHeal #BIPOCUnity #ResilienceAndStrength #JusticeAndEquity

This paper is one all elected, housers, community development and land use professionals should read. “In this inaugural publication, we highlight the critical need for a reparative spatial justice framework in land and housing policy. The paper uplifts key concepts, research findings, and perspectives from the field shedding light on the multifaceted nature of reparative spatial justice. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review compiled by the PolicyLink housing team and the empirical insights of qualitative research conducted by Social Insights, this paper also synthesizes conversations with advocates, practitioners, and thought leaders in the fields of spatial justice, reparations, housing justice, and land justice. The fusion of these insights frames a set of evidence-based recommendations, charting a course for researchers, policymakers, organizers, and advocates dedicated to this transformative work.” Well done Dr. Michael McAfee and PolicyLink !

As we commemorate Juneteenth, the day marking the end of slavery in the United States, we are reminded of the ongoing journey towards true equality and justice. Affordable housing is a critical piece of this puzzle. The Legacy of Housing Inequality 🏠 : For too long, systemic racism has created barriers to affordable housing for Black communities. From redlining to discriminatory lending practices, the legacy of these injustices continues to impact families today. Juneteenth is not only a day to celebrate freedom but also a call to action. We must continue to advocate for policies that ensure equitable access to affordable housing. This includes supporting fair housing laws, increasing funding for affordable housing projects, and promoting inclusive community development. How You Can Help: Educate Yourself: Learn about the history of housing discrimination and its impact on Black communities. Advocate: Support local and national initiatives that aim to create affordable housing opportunities. Get Involved: Volunteer with organizations dedicated to housing justice and support efforts to create inclusive neighborhoods. We can honor the spirit of Juneteenth by working towards a future where everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. #Juneteenth #AffordableHousing #HousingEquality #FairHousing #CommunityDevelopment

Together, we can tackle our most challenging problems. This week I was inspired not by the lofty goals, illuminating research or the theory of change but by the practical, tactical, gritty commitment to get it done. Thanks to the City and partners for hosting the first affordable housing week at city hall and to so many partners in other rooms working on policy change at the state level. A few reflections in the blog linked below.
