The REP is happy to bring you the long-awaited and much-anticipated e-newsletter exploring land use and housing issues faced by low income persons of color. We hope this e-newsletter will shed some light onto how advocates can fight structural and institutional inequity and racism through the creative use of land use and housing law.

The three contributors to this e-newsletter each bring a unique perspective to land use and housing practice. We hope that you will find their articles informative and inspiring. Enjoy.

Using California Law to Advance Race Equity in Land Use, Mike Rawson, Co-director, The Public Interest Law Project.

Public Housing Redux, Demetria McCain, Esq., Director of Advocacy & Education, Inclusive Communities Project, Inc.

Empowering Communities of Color Through Land Use Advocacy, Zenobia Lai, Senior Attorney, Greater Boston Legal Services.

We are still ruminating on the theme of the next e-newsletter. If you have a suggestion, we would love to hear from you.
