Thanks for attending our first LJCLT Advisory Working Group session!

Thanks to everyone again for joining our first LJCLT Advisory Working Group session! It was so great to meet so many of you in person, and I am so happy that so many others got to join online!

---

Here’s a short recap of what we accomplished in our first session:

• Answered questions about what a community land trust is, what it can do in the neighborhood and the current direction of the LJCLT.

• Shared ideas on resources and networks to advance the land trust

• We decided on the following 5 Afrocentric Values to inform the governance infrastructure of the land trust

  • Umoja (Unity)

  • Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)

  • Kujichahulia (Self Determination)

  • Ujamaa (Collective Economics)

  • Nia (Purpose)

Please see below for materials from this session, plus additional BUTO reports that further explain CLTs, other ownership models and how we got to the point of incorporating the Little Jamaica Community Land Trust.

I apologize for not having sent folks off with food this session, so please send your e-transfer emails and breakfast/lunch/dinner is on us!

Thank you, guys! Have a great week. 🙂
