Small Business Anti-Displacement Research
The displacement of small businesses caused by commercial gentrification in the Bay Area is a well-known problem in our communities.

LGBTQ+ small businesses owners are especially at risk of displacement. This open letter shows the Board of Directors support for anti-displacement research by the Office of Economic Development in San Jose, CA.
