As our community has continued to struggle against unjust development practices, our education work has increasingly focused on turning community knowledge into tools for organizing and better policy. Our Equitable Development Rubric, and its accompanying framework, offer a foundation for a creative and desperately-needed inclusionary housing policy in Cincinnati. With it, we are educating and strengthening a grassroots push for change at City Hall.
New Zoom trainings coming soon!
Zoning Reform: Will it make Cincinnati more equitable?
As city officials draw attention to potential zoning reforms, this session will share key takeaways from Peaslee’s research and advocacy that help to shed light on how such proposed changes may or may not contribute to equity. There will be time for participant discussion and Q&A. Click one of the dates below to register.
Using the Rubric 101
This session will provide an overview of our Equitable Development Rubric’s grassroots potential to shape development policy, and a look at the step-by-step process by which councils can use it. It will also provide the opportunity for meaningful, small group discussion with participants across various councils. We recommend this session for any residents who are newly learning about the Rubric and/or exploring first action steps for their council.
