Youth Action Alert: Sacramento Investment Without Displacement

Youth Activists – raise your voice against displacement! 

Sacramento Investment Without Displacement (SIWD) is a coalition of social justice organizations, neighborhood associations, labor groups, residents, and community partners organized to support building healthy communities and affordable housing, preserving cultural traditions, and the stability of neighborhoods impacted by big developments.

SIWD has been working with the City of Sacramento for over two years to draft a city-wide Community Benefits Agreement Ordinance (CBAO) to address the negative impacts of large developments on diverse communities going forward.

Since 2022, SIWD and the City have met weekly in an attempt to come to a compromise in developing the ordinance, however we disagree on some major components included and not included in the City’s draft of the CBAO. On April 18^th, the draft will be heard by the City’s Law & Legislation Committee.

In order for the CBAO to serve it’s initial purpose and effectively protect residents against displacement, amendments must be made before it comes before the full City Council.  

Here’s how YOU can help: 

1. Register and Join our info session (YOUTH) $20 door dash certificates for the first 10 who register and are in attendance. 
2. Submit your own letter of support before 5/16/2023
