As both an organization and a larger movement, The City Repair Project
inspires and guides the transformation of the grid infrastructure of the
typical American city into a vital social commons. The multidisciplinary
nature of City Repair defies categorization. Similar to Permaculture design,
it has become a national movement for social and ecological restoration
operating in a landscape characterized by isolation and
compartmentalization. www.cityrepair.org

Thursday, November 9th, 6:30 PM
Mark Lakeman, Co-Founder or City Repair (www.cityrepair.org) will give a
presentation on the City Repair Project. As both an organization and a
larger movement, The City Repair Project inspires and guides the
transformation of the grid infrastructure of the typical American city into
a vital social commons. The multidisciplinary nature of City Repair defies
categorization. Similar to Permaculture design, it has become a national
movement for social and ecological restoration operating in a landscape
characterized by isolation and compartmentalization. The project takes
Fritjof Capra's 'Tipping Point' as a model for paradigm change by
intentionally focusing upon intersections in space and time. City Repair is
directly reclaiming those intersection points, converting spaces of
collision into places of convergence, and opening the field for what
automatically happens when people reunite with their Place: everything.

Strategic Actions for a Just Economy
SAJE (www.saje.net) is an economic justice, community development, and
popular education center that has been building economic power for working
class people in Los Angeles since 1996.  Over the past ten years SAJE's
winning combination of community organizing, coalition-building, and
grassroots policy has gained significant benefits for the community. Our
accomplishments include creating the nation's first welfare-to-work bank
account and, through the Figueroa Corridor Coalition for Economic Justice,
negotiating the nation's most comprehensive community benefits agreement.

Urban Land Reform is SAJE’s solution to the ever-increasing problem of
gentrification and displacement in the Figueroa Corridor.

We are working to:

  a.. Eliminate slum housing conditions and criminalize slumlords.
  b.. Create universal tenants’ rights.
  c.. Reform and restructure redevelopment.
  d.. Increase people’s control over land use.
  e.. Build capacity and skills for leadership and employment.
