Let's make sure that any new development in our community benefits our families and neighbors first and preserves our culture.
Change must be driven by the community.
There are plans to turn our community into a biotech hub. Politicians and corporations have begun calling the area along Valley Boulevard between Cal State LA and the USC Health Science campus the “Biotech Corridor” – claiming their own vision for our community without consulting with the very people who live here.
It's not about the pros and cons of biotech. This is about development that fails to consider community priorities and include authentic, local voices in the planning process, which leads to residents being pushed out and priced out of their own homes. Change can be positive, but it must be driven by the community.

Development without displacement is possible, and we will accept nothing less.
We have our own vision for the future of the Eastside that welcomes economic growth while protecting longtime residents who have made our community the place we know and love. Our coalition of renters, homeowners, youth, seniors, and local community organizations is demanding equitable and accountable development.
