Our Afternoon Policy Plenary

Displacement is a growing crisis for New Yorkers as more and more communities confront this rising threat. But the effects of gentrification reach beyond just housing. Displacement is an increasingly central concern, and a central point of analysis for people and organizations concerned with issues such as police violence, schools and education, health inequality, economic justice, and environmental justice.

Each sector is asking key questions – What is the impact that displacement is having on our communities and neighborhoods? How do other sectors see and approach the fight to stay and over control of space? How do we work across movements to achieve equitable communities?

Our Afternoon Policy Plenary will discuss the impacts of displacement from sectors outside of housing movement, and ask what lessons we can draw to take a more powerful, comprehensive approach to fighting displacement.

Meet The Panelists:

• J. Phillip Thompson, Deputy Mayor for Strategic Policy Initiatives, New York City Mayor’s Office (Moderator)
• Javier Lopez, Assistant Commissioner over Systems Partnership in the Center for Health Equity, NYC Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene
• Matt Gonzales, School Diversity Project Director, New York Appleseed
• Nevin Cohen, Ph.D., Research Director, CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute, CUNY School of Public Health
