SUMMARY:Vigil for Immigrant Justice
DESCRIPTION:The Pinellas/Hillsborough Interfaith Coalition\, LWVSPA\, and our allies host a peaceful Freedom Vigil to stand in solidarity with immigrant families and demand an end to the detention and deportation of our nonviolent\, law-abiding immigrant community neighbors\, siblings\, and friends. These vigils shine a light on the erosion of due process and the rise of authoritarian overreach. We pray for family reunification and justice for all immigrants.

SUMMARY:Safeguarding Affordability Through Community Land Trusts
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area and Faith in Florida \n\n\n\nCommunity Land Trusts (CLTs) are an innovative\, proven tool for creating and preserving permanently affordable housing while strengthening neighborhoods. By separating land ownership from the buildings on it\, CLTs ensure homes remain affordable for future generations\, even as property values rise. CLTs help small business owners compete by lowering the cost of renting or buying a workspace. Across Florida\, communities are using CLTs to help teachers\, nurses\, service workers\, and young families remain in the communities they serve. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an engaging talk to learn how community land trusts work\, how they are financed and governed\, and how they can help communities create stable\, inclusive neighborhoods\, stop gentrification\, and protect long-term public investment in affordable housing. Our guest speaker is Dayna Lazarus AICP\, technical advisor to the Florida Housing Coalition. \n\n\n\n\n\n		RSVP Here
