In our work for housing justice, area commissions offer an opportunity for intervening in projects that harm our community through tax abatements and gentrification. Join us for a field trip to the University Area Commission on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 6:30 pm. At this meeting, we will investigate how the commission works: What kinds of questions do commissioners ask? What appears to motivate them? How does the information presented at the meeting intersect with our work fighting tax abatements?

The meeting takes place at the Northwood-High Building at 2231 N. High St, and we’ll meet outside the meeting room at 6:20 pm. Afterwards, for those who can stay, we’ll have a debrief discussion at Kafe Kerouac.
