Buffalo is not unique in its struggle against gentrification. This grapple for space intensifies racism, classism, and sexism: values clash, and the wealthy displace the vulnerable. Gentrification directly impacts each and everyone of us. Join the conversation about gentrification at a public teach-in at the Matt Urban Hope Center on October 14th.

Keynote speaker for the Buffalo Anti-Gentrification Summit will be Dawn Phillips, Executive Director of Right To The City Alliance. Other speakers will include Sam Magavern from PPG, CEJ Buffalo, Push Buffalo, VOICE-Buffalo, Citizen Action Of Western New York, Public Accountability Initiative and Open Buffalo.

Topics include:
- School-to-prison pipeline
- Racial Dynamics
- Housing
- Transit
- Developing a City-Wide Community Benefit Agreement
