Partner Organizations: Haitian Women of Miami, Dream Defenders, Power U Center for Social Change, Miami Workers Center, WeCount!, New Florida Majority. This project will connect siloed communities and surface innovative community-based solutions to housing and economic justice challenges by leveraging HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing process in Miami-Dade. The push for “neighborhoods of opportunity” echoes long term community demands, and provides an opportunity to both widen the focus and bring together many issue areas under the umbrella of racial justice. Our approach includes representing grassroots community organizations, addressing root causes in collaboration with them, as well as amplifying visionary, evidenced-backed solutions surfaced by those directly impacted by social and economic injustice. This presents a unique opportunity to connect and bolster community struggles and demand that local governments truly confront the comprehensiveness of racial bias – understanding that all local policies – from those related to police to schools to jobs to criminal justice to gender – are interrelated and ridden with “disparate impacts” on communities of color.
