#OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
#OurNeighborhoods is a network of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) grassroots organizations committed to addressing the issue of gentrification through neighborhood organizing. We build power with low-income AAPI residents and youth who have been directly impacted by displacement.
Toolkits
We developed these toolkits as a resource for our communities as they organize and build community power in #OurNeighborhoods.

Data for organizing
We have also assembled some Data Tools to help community groups to assess displacement risk in their communities and to inform their advocacy.
