| Description |
 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.
This event will be facilitated by Dr. Manuel Pastor, Director of the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity at the University of Southern California's Center for Sustainable Cities. For the SEC State of the Region, Dr. Pastor will explore the Bay Area using a regional equity lens.
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, its 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 speakers include:
* Carl Anthony, Earth House Center
* Judith Bell, PolicyLink
* Keith Carson, District 5 Board of Supervisors for Alameda County
* Juliet Ellis, Executive Director of Urban Habitat
* Phaedra Ellis Lamkins, Executive Director of Working Partnerships USA & the South Bay Labor Council
* Jim Wunderman, President & CEO of the Bay Area Council
And more to be announced!
