Meeting and regathering of the Whose Boston? coalition Thursday, 1/19 6:00 - 8:30 pm USES/Harriet Tubman House 566 Columbus Avenue Right on the corner of Mass and Columbus Avenues. It is 1 block from the Mass Ave. T stop on the Orange Line, 3-4 blocks from the Symphony T stop on the Green Line, and 4-5 blocks from the Silver Line. The building and room are accessible.
Whose Boston? is a growing grassroots movement to reclaim Boston communities for Boston people by working for an equitable and inclusive vision of a community-centered city. We believe that land is not just a commodity for speculation, and that growth and development should serve residents' needs for: - truly affordable housing to stabilize our communities and prevent displacement, - safe, accessible streets, public facilities, and public transportation, and - balance in public, non-profit and private land use and taxes. We seek to create new systems for democratic, community-centered city planning.
Proposed agenda for the meeting: 1) Review Whose Boston? mission statement/call to action and goals 2) Small group discussion about policy issue priorities and plans 3) Proposal for spring action and set up next meeting(s)
More information will be coming to you by email shortly.
