Becoming Anti-Racist is a journey, a life-long commitment to "do justice". We are not all starting from the same place or life experiences and that is okay. We are simply asking you to lean in and open yourself up to learning. We're sharing resources and encouragement, hosting trainings and events and taking action to help each of us become Anti-Racist. We want to impact our community and bring about change. All proceeds from merchandise sales will benefit the Minority Business Incubator. Will you partner with us? To commit to this effort, join the email list and follow us on social media. We'll make sure you know about all the ways we can partner together for this movement. Create bold change with us.

February 8 from 6-8PM | North Indy – Sanctuary & Online 

Have you heard that Indiana has one of the highest eviction rates in the country*? Did you know that 1 in 14 renters in Marion County and Indianapolis had an eviction filing between March 2020 and April 2022*? Do you wonder how this has happened and what we can do about it? Do you also wonder why fair housing issues are also racial justice issues?

The Housing Symposium kicks off our observance of Black History Month by addressing these questions and more. Against the physical backdrop of the exhibit entitled "Unwelcomed: A Fair Housing History of Sales & Lending Discrimination," expert local speakers from the Fair Housing Center, Family Promise, and Fairbanks School of Public Health will address the state of housing in Indianapolis and its impact on the overall health of our community. We will bring together people who share a commitment to protect and further the rights of those facing housing instability in our community to share ideas on how to affect change on a local level. You will not only learn more about this crisis, you will also walk away with actionable steps to become part of the solution. Among other things, this includes a fundraising project designed to support a family from homelessness to housing stability through a one-year relationship with Family Promise.

Crooked Creek Community Development Corporation’s neighborhood business incubator supports residents in their efforts to start, manage, and grow their own business by pairing them with consultants and mentors to develop strategies and financial models that position businesses for future success.
