Register now for the Bay Area Social Equity Caucus inaugural 'State of the Region' convening & 10th
Anniversary Celebration on December 15, 2008 in downtown Oakland! Registration includes materials, buffet lunch, and snacks.
You are invited to join our coalition members and allies from nonprofit, government, labor, and business organizations to evaluate the 'State of the Region' and continue building the movement for an equitable Bay Area.
This event will:
- Deepen your understanding of the political, environmental, economic, and social forces impacting the lives of low-income people and people of color,
- Strengthen your organization's work by applying a regional framework, and
- Build partnerships and alliances across sectors, issue areas and geography.
The story will focus on the new demography, the new economy, and the new environment of the Bay Area: in each case, we will highlight trends and point to possibilities for organizing and policy action. We have a rapidly changing demography, it’s occurring in the context of economic insecurity, inequality, and change, and the new environmental constraints offer new possibilities for job creation and policy. Each of these areas touches on issues of concern for the SEC, such as climate change, but also to our coalition's four main foci: demography will address housing and jobs, economy will address jobs and transportation, and environment will address land use.
Confirmed panelists include:
- Carl Anthony, Earth House Center
- Judith Bell, Policylink
- Keith Carson, Alameda County Board of Supervisors, District 5
- Juliet Ellis, Executive Director of Urban Habitat
- Phaedra Ellis Lamkins, Executive Director of Working Partnerships USA & South Bay Labor Council
- Jim Wunderman, President & CEO of the Bay Area Council
- And more to be announced!
