NLIHC’s Virtual Housing Policy Forum 2022: Achieving Housing Justice, taking place March 22-23, 2022, 12:30-5:30 pm ET, will feature a conversation between acclaimed “MacArthur Genius” photographer LaToya Ruby Frazier and NLIHC Senior Vice President for Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Renee Willis on “The Human Toll of Housing and Economic Injustice.” Throughout her brilliant and impactful body of work, LaToya depicts America’s current reality of poverty, racism, healthcare inequality, urban decay, housing injustice, environmental toxicity, and unravelling civic connections, featuring perspectives traditionally erased from the U.S. narrative. LaToya will discuss the value of collaboration—with individuals, families, and communities—to create social change. While mass media often silences marginalized communities, there are ways to engage these communities to amplify their voices and come together with renewed agency. Through art, activism, and grassroots action, LaToya inspires advocates to use digital technology and storytelling to foster empathy, connection, and understanding. Register today to attend the forum here.
The forum will also feature keynote speakers and panels on the HoUSed Campaign for Universal, Stable, Affordable Housing – Progress To-Date and Road Ahead; Capitol Hill Insiders Panel; Ending Rental Arrears to Stop Evictions; Achieving Renter Protections; Expanding the Multi-Sector Affordable Housing Movement; Best Practices in Organizing; and Discussions with Members of Congress and Senior Administration Officials.
Forum attendees will have an opportunity to network with other attendees, and NLIHC will provide a selection of interactive sessions with NLIHC experts on Our Homes, Our Votes 2022: Non-partisan Voter and Candidate Engagement; Disaster Housing Recovery; Effective Media/Social Media Strategies & Practices; and Anti-Racism, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
