Describa brevemente cual iniciativa proponen y la envergadura geográfica de la acción:
Act Together for Another World, One Movement, Many Struggles!

For more than 3 years Power U has worked in the historical black community of Overtown to stop gentrification. The City of Miami has used money, power, and influence to give away public land to private developers for profit. Overtown and Power U fought to stop this corruption and we won! We stopped a luxury development (crosswinds) in its tracks thanks to our organizing. County Commissioner Edmonson gave a strong voice for the people and guided a unanimous vote by the County to take the property from the City and begin redevelopment for current Overtown residents.
It is time to name our reclaimed land, it is time to celebrate! The name Sankofa, ‘reclaim our past so we can move forward’ we believe honors Overtowns rich history that must be included in our plans and actions of the future.
