“ Some people of privilege will say that there is nothing they can do and therefore do nothing. A second response is when individuals decide to do something to help and that might include signing petitions or sharing skills that those individuals have. A third response was for people or privilege to use that privilege, but from a distance – not developing a relationship with those most impacted/targeted by gentrification. The fourth position was a form of solidarity, where people of privilege develop relationships with those impacted/targeted, listen to the needs/desires of that community and then using the resources/power of our privilege to work with those most impacted/targeted by gentrification.
