Please join Small Business Majority as part of the Small Business Anti-Displacement Network (SBAN) as we convene community leaders and small business owners across the country for the first national conference focused on anti-displacement policy and commercial gentrification. We will learn about strategies used from small business heavy-hitters like the Urban Institute, Inner City Capital Connections, Ochoa Urban Collective, Association for Latino Community Asset Builders, CDC Small Business Finance, Inclusive Action for the City, and many more that can't be listed here!

Durin our panel, "Organize and Multiply: Organizing Businesses and Advocating Policy Change", we will discuss various approaches to organizing small business owners to advocate for innovative and effective anti-displacement policies. We will cover successful strategies at the local, state, and federal levels.
