IntegrationAgenda.org is a new website where you can learn about residential racial and ethnic integration, participate in developing a comprehensive agenda for integration, and advocate on behalf of pro-integrative policies. The website is a joint project of MoveSmart.org, the Oak Park Regional Housing Center, Jane Addams Hull House Association, and the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).
The site grew out of an October 7, 2008 conference called
"The Next Forty Years of Fair Housing: Developing an Agenda for
Integration in the 21st Century." The conference was co-sponsored by GPA and Hull House (planning assistance was provided by
MoveSmart.org and the Oak Park Regional Housing Center).
The goal was
to craft an agenda to renew a commitment to integration, and rather
than simply have a series of panel discussions with time for a few
hurried questions, the conference organizers decided to do something different. Nearly a
quarter of this day-long event was spent discussing and drafting a
collaboratively-generated agenda to advance residential racial and
ethnic integration: the Integration Agenda.
The site, which is designed to both continue the conversation that began
that day as well as provide advocates for stable diversity with the
tools needed to advance pro-integrative policies, has four main sections:
Learn:
relive the 10/7/08 conference "The Next 40 Years of Fair Housing" through videos, slideshows, and extensive notes;
Participate:
pledge to support the Integration Agenda and you'll become an editor of one of three working documents focused on public policy, grassroots organizations, and research;
Advance:
help make stable diversity real by endorsing the campaign and advocating on behalf of policies that promote integration; and
Blog:
stay up to date on the latest news and developments on building stable, diverse neighborhoods.
