Race & Equity in all Planning coalition (REP-SF)
Our Equity in Land Use framework sparked the creation of the Race & Equity in all Planning coalition (REP-SF). The coalition consists of nearly 40 grassroots and community based organizations, affordable housing developers, and cultural districts throughout San Francisco. We are building collective power to ensure a future with diverse communities, stable, affordable housing, and equitable access to resources and opportunities. REP-SF works to create new systems that deliberately address all components of the Equity in Land Use Framework, which serves as a foundation for the coalition’s organizing efforts and strategies.
The documentary Sa Amin: Our Place. Sa Amin, produced and directed by [people. power. media], is the untold story of Filipino community activists and multigenerational families in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood claiming a right to the city as they battle displacement caused by urban renewal, real estate speculation and tech booms, and in doing so they are sustaining the cultural heart of the Filipino-American community. Check out our upcoming screenings.
We do workshops.
We specialize in designing and facilitating popular education workshops for organizations and community leaders about why housing is so expensive based on our animated feature, "Priced Out" and other topics such as gentrification, affordable housing and community planning.
