#CommunityFuturesLab co-creator and CLS attorney Rasheedah Phillips joins PACDC Policy Director Beth McConnell on an op-ed in Philly Inquirer about a new law that would create development of affordable housing units! In the rapidly gentrifying area of Sharswood-Brewerytown area community members have consistently been vocal at community meetings about the need for affordable housing in our area! We look forward to working with community members to support these policies at two upcoming hearings.

Thank you to @presalliancephl @yfpaphilly for Recognizing that preservation goes beyond preserving buildings and physical spaces, that preservation of culture, memory, communal history is just as integral, and for taking on an expansive definition of preservation that privileges voices rarely heard in these conversations. We would also like to dedicate and share this recognition with the folks from Sharswood-Brewerytown NAC under the leadership of Darnetta Arce, Faye Anderson of All That Philly Jazz, our amazing interns, @northphillypeacepark , and most importantly, all of the #SHARSWOOD residents who gave us access to their most precious resources - their time, Memory, fears, future visions and dreams! #communityfutureslab #housingfutures #communityfuturisms #northphilly
