III:\nGente Si\, Gentrify No: Resisting Displacement in Boyle Heights \n \nActivists\, residents\, and community members will come together to discuss the struggle against gentrification and displacement in Boyle Heights. Boyle Heights is at the epicenter of a spatially contested struggle for shelter in the midst of Los Angeles’ crisis of housing affordability. This renewed interested in the neighborhood comes after decades of disinvestment\, racial discrimination\, and substandard employment opportunities for its long-term residents. As a historic entry point for Mexican immigrants into the country\, gentrification in Boyle Heights has not only taken a toll on the neighborhood’s most vulnerable populations\, but it has eroded the vital social and cultural institutions of self-determination. But the threat of displacement has also inspired a rigorous and thriving social movement in response. In a moderated discussion\, panelists will explore the realities of gentrification and the organizing that has emerged as a response to provide context to the debate about gentrification in the neighborhood\, and similar debates taking place across Los Angeles. \nPANELISTS: \nAlessandro Negrete\, Outreach Officer\, Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council \nElizabeth Blaney\, Co-Executive Director\, Union de Vecinos \nLeonardo Vilchis\, Co-Executive Director\, Union de Vecinos \nZacil Pech\, Founder< Defend Boyle Heights \nNico Avina\, Co-Owner\, Espacio 1839 \n  \n************************** \nPRESENTED BY: \n  \n  \n  \n************************** \nDirections to UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs:\nhttp://luskin.ucla.edu/content/visit-us \nPARKING ($12.00/car) UCLA Lot 3 or Lot 2 (depending on availability): \nThe UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs building is located in the northeast section of the UCLA campus\, adjacent to the Murphy Sculpture Garden.
