JUST Equity

It has been nearly 50 years since St. Paul's tight-knit Rondo community was split in two by the construction of I-94. Nearly 50 years since the project caused the destruction of 750 homes and the displacement of more than 1,000 families. And now, nearly 50 years later, JUST Equity, a coalition of African-American groups advocating for equitable development in the St. Paul Light Rail project, is working hard to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself.

I like to see measurable change not through a survey per se, but through personal accounts where it is trickling down so it is actually measurable in people's lives and you can see it in their lived experience.
