A 6-year fight leads to hundreds more people of color in good jobs at Encore!
In 2013, Action convened the Casino Action Network—community leaders from across the region standing up and saying “if there is going to be a casino, is needs to have good jobs and we need our fair share of them.” Quotes
Delegations, meetings, presentations, making residents voices heard—won a license requirement of $41,000 annually and 75% full-time jobs and a hiring requirement of 40% people of color. Residents and our elected leaders won a new approach to connecting disconnected communities to these jobs and keeping the community at the table.

People’s Assembly endorses Action’s Special Protection Zones as assembly demand!
When our community fight won the opening of Fairmount Corridor stations, we knew that gentrification and displacement were on their way, too. Action for Equity is leading the fight for a new zoning overlay district for Special Protection Zones—to be piloted in the Fairmount Corridor. Right to the City’s People’s Assembly has chosen the Special Protection Zone as one of three city-wide demands.
