The group wanted to speak out against city-backed plans that prioritize development and gentrification over people and community self-determination. They held a rally on the steps leading to the Council chambers, before going inside to disrupt and build consciousness around whose interest this development serves. Speakers included Elaine Brown, former leader of the Black Panther Party.
The commission approved the plan, despite all the speakers who spoke against it, moving the plan forward for full Council consideration.
