Boots on the ground
Join the coalition surveying affordability where people actually live.
We are convening a broad coalition to gather grassroots evidence of how economic apartheid shapes residents’ rights, access, and privileges — collecting the data that helps independent entities make better-informed decisions.

The work, shared between us.
Survey the ground truth
Gather boots-on-the-ground evidence of affordability and access — testimony by testimony, block by block.

Bring the open-mic town hall to your community so more voices reach the record.
Document the data
Record how race, sex, gender, and socioeconomic status shape rights, access, and privilege — the way a think tank gathers research.
