The recent economic crisis has unmasked the vast racial and economic inequality in the U.S., once hidden under the veil of the "middle class". While many are just beginning to feel the impact of this crisis, urban America - poor and low-income families, women, immigrants, communities of color and other city dwellers -have felt it for decades. Urban Congress 2010 will serve as an opportunity for those living and working in grassroots communities to reflect on the state of urban America since the start of the recession; to reevaluate the notion of the ‘right to the city’ in light of the current political climate; to get inspired by local efforts to combat gentrification and displacement; and to learn about Right To The City’s national campaign for housing, jobs, and sustainable communities.
