Anti-Displacement Ordinance Campaign
The Solution/Demand: We demand that the city pass the Anti-Displacement Assessment Tool created by internationally recognized gentrification scholars and that they seat residents on the Anti-Displacement Ordinance Commission which was created by the legislation.
The Problem: Thanks to your support and the support of people from every voting district in Jefferson County, on November 9, 2023, Metro Council Unanimously PASSED the Anti-Displacement Ordinance! Since then, the city had six months to put things in place for the ordinance to activate, but they have delayed activation through inaction. It's been a YEAR and we're not waiting any longer. The Anti-Displacement Assessment Tool is ready to be passed and put into action, and several applicants for the commission have been waiting for months to be vetted, interviewed, and to serve their city.
