Please join the American Constitution Society and Stanford’s Housing Pro Bono for “Communities in Crisis: Gentrification and Displacement in Silicon Valley” on Tuesday, October 20 at 5:45 pm. Soaring costs of living and an acute housing shortage continue to displace low- and middle-income residents from communities surrounding Stanford. This panel will offer a forum for discussing the resulting gentrification and local policies and legal strategies that could stop the bleeding.

Panelists include Javanni Munguia-Brown, plaintiff in the class action lawsuit Munguia-Brown v. Equity Residential, and Jason Tarricone, Directing Attorney of the Housing and Economic Advancement Programs at Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto. Stanford Law Lecturer Jeanne Merino will moderate.

Dinner will be served! Please RSVP here.
