Most events will take place at Higgins Hall (61 St. James Place, Brooklyn)

Example of a Breakout Session:

Sun. 02/25 BREAKOUT: Planning for Black Lives: Urban Planning & the
BlackLivesMatter Movement
9:30am to 11:00am in Higgins Hall
Panel participants will examine how urban planning efforts in New York City
have impacted racial justice struggles, and will explore whether planning
decisions and outcomes have been of value to the Black Lives Matter
movement. The panelists will discuss their views on how the Black Lives
Matter movement can use the tools of urban planning to meet their goals.
This panel is geared towards community planners, sustainability planners
and preservationists, some of whom may not be familiar with racial justice
issues, as well as organizers and activists who may not be familiar with
the role of urban planning in policy and equity work.

Co-hosted by the Pratt Center for Community Development and Pratt’s
Programs for Sustainable Planning and Development, the panel will be
moderated by Giovannia (G) Tiarachristie, a recent PSPD alumna. Speakers
will include Mark Winston Griffith, Executive Director of The Brooklyn
Movement Center as well as other planners, activists, and organizers
currently working in the field of urban planning. Spoken word artist,
Steven Willis perform at this event.
