Manage episode 479699770 series 3467521
We return with this final segment (recorded at the same time as Episodes 16 and 17) which wraps up our three-part interview on Berkeley’s first Affordable Housing Preference Policy. City of Berkeley’s Community Development Project Coordinator Anna Cash, former Program Director of the Community Economic Justice Clinic at East Bay Community Law center, Jasmine Poyaoan and our very own Ayanna Davis former Deputy Executive Director at Healthy Black Families discuss: What were some of the hardships during the organizing of this policy? What are some of the lessons we can pass on from those hardships? What are their hopes with how this Right to Stay, Right to Return takes root and becomes a tool for repairing harm.
