📢 Our next webinar will be Monday March 27th, registration is now OPEN! 📢

Redressing segregation begins with understanding segregation. Segregation follows certain patterns nationwide but holds no specific shape. It varies from city to city, and community to community. Join us for this forthcoming webinar where we will talk about how you can discover how segregation shaped your neighborhood, beginning with resources as simple as websites and the holdings of your local library. In addition to presenting our own resources related to this research, we will also introduce you to two groups leading the country in researching histories of local segregation through their investigations of racially restrictive covenants, the Chicago Covenants and Mapping Prejudice projects.

We out here making Black History EVERY DAY! To celebrate the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth, we want to uplift the work and the SUCCESSES of the everyday people who have come together to bring Redress to their cities.

In Milwaukee we launched a petition to the Board of County Supervisors to develop a Housing Subcommittee. This Subcommittee would serve to address the myriad housing inequities present in Milwaukee, and would be crucial in redressing one of America's most segregated cities.

In Denver, they've hosted Redress House Parties to discuss Zoning and its implications in Racial Segregation.

In Charlotte, folks are hitting the streets with Action NC and the Housing Justice Coalition to fight for fair housing.

And we're just getting started.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed of economic justice where discriminatory practices such as racial steering, redlining, and blockbusting no longer kept us segregated or kept our neighborhoods unequal.

Beginning with the first federal highway law in 19

Beginning with the first federal highway law in 1956, transportation planners used highways to isolate or destroy Black neighborhoods by cutting them off from adjoining areas. Once the highways were built, the social and economic fabric of these neighborhoods began to deteriorate", Joan Fitzgerald, Professor of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University and Julian Agyeman, Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University, for the Milwaukee Independent.

What could redress for highway expansion look like? Fitzgerald and Agyeman paint a picture for us in their article for the Milwaukee Independent found here: http://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/syndicated/segregated-infrastructure-removing-urban-highways-can-repair-neighborhoods-blighted-racist-policies/.

The movement to redress the effects of racial segr

The movement to redress the effects of racial segregation in our country is spreading. Feeling the power of this moment, there is a growing field of community organizers who are committed and passionate about the need to redress or repair the negative consequences of our nation being so racially segregated. Those community organizers are collaborating with civil rights and housing advocates to build a multi-racial movement that gets to the heart of building more inclusive communities.

Join us for this webinar, where we’ll introduce you to some of the best community organizers working for redress and we’ll highlight some of the most innovative organizing happening in the redress movement today.
