Speakers: Kalima Rose, Director of the PolicyLink Center for Infrastructure Equity, PolicyLink; Allen Fernandez-Smith, President and CEO, Urban Habitat; Nathaniel Smith, Founder and Convener, Partnership for Southern Equity; Russ Adams, Executive Director, Alliance for Metropolitan Sustainability

Powerful regional equity coalitions and networks have formed over the last decade to unite communities of color and low-income communities across a region. These coalitions steer regional planning efforts, win and preserve affordable housing near transit, foster transit service and investments in ways that connect their communities to opportunities in the region. Regional equity leaders from Oakland, the Twin Cities, and Atlanta guide participants in how to bring together diverse organizations, define priorities and roles, and work in concert to accomplish structural changes in their communities.

Labor Unions: Emerging Allies for Smart Growth

Speakers: Greg LeRoy, Executive Director, Good Jobs First; Kevin Pranis, Laborers International Union of North America; Aurita Apodaca, Organizer, FRESC for Good Jobs and Strong Communities; Lorena Gonzalez, Secretary/Treasurer/CEO, San Diego-Imperial Counties Central Labor Council

Some unions, like the Food & Commercial Workers who oppose Walmart and the Amalgamated Transit Union that advocates for transit, are well-known to smart growthers for their sophisticated advocacy. And unions have much more freedom to advocate than do non-profits or most public officials. But too often, labor leaders and growth-management practitioners do not know each other well or actively coordinate. This workshop is both "Labor's Self-Interest in Smart Growth" and "Labor Movement 101" with specific examples of smart growth advocacy from three exemplary labor groups and a pro-labor think tank.
