This week on the Truth to Power Happy Hour, we gather around the microphones at the end of the week for an important conversation about the Land Development Code (LDC) reform process, land access, enforcement, systemic racism, and environmental justice with LeTicia Marshall (Shively), Katheryn (Russell) & Lisa Santos (Irish Hill) from the newly formed Citizens' Coalition for LDC Reform. These citizens are organizing to hold the city accountable when it comes to equitable enforcement of codes, and equitably addressing issues such as tree canopy declining, carbon footprint, and the urban heat island effect. Many are concerned that the city is pointing to racial equity as a Trojan horse, not the true motivation to reform the land development code. Citizens have a voice and we should be the driving force for how our neighborhoods look and feel. We also discuss what is community? What does it mean to rebuild or build a community?
