The world today faces a multitude of challenges – violent conflicts disrupt education and stability, a polarized online environment fosters negativity, and persistent economic inequality limits opportunities. These issues threaten not only individual futures but also the overall stability of societies. It is crucial to equip youth with the skills needed to foster a culture of peace, nurture responsible global citizens, and promote sustainable development, in order to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
In the spirit of cultivating a more inclusive space, we’re unpacking May East’s “Leverage Point 2 – Developing spaces for gathering and belonging” – where summer youth interns of Eye on Ivy relook at their everyday public spaces with lens of curiosity. Seeing what that place means to them, what makes that place unique, is the place living up to its full potential?

The Better Futures Institute, in collaboration with the City of San Antonio, will host a series of conversations about the future of cities during the Civic Tech Scholars internship program. These conversations will focus on understanding the roles of public city officials, urban resilience, civic engagement, and the impact of civic technology and innovation in shaping the future of cities.
We think of the future as something we all create together, not something that's already decided and waiting for us: The future is a group project. By creating spaces for dialogue and understanding the diverse needs of our communities, we're turning aspirations into actionable plans—come and help us build a future that benefits everyone. #BetterFuturesConversations

For the Spring 2024 semester, CPF POSC 395 Policy Research Internship students explored how eminent domain affected communities in south Los Angeles, especially Black communities within California’s 37th Congressional district. Students examined its impacts on land ownership, generational wealth, and community prosperity. They presented their extensive research and recommendations to our partner, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove.
Sofia Connors, a sophomore majoring in Political Science, said, "I was grateful to take part in the POSC 395 Policy Research Internship. I learned about the ways the government has historically used eminent domain to target minority communities in Los Angeles, segregating them and gentrifying their communities. This internship taught me about the foundations Los Angeles was built upon, that many fail to acknowledge. It is rewarding to know we could be making an impact on policy, potentially getting reparations for the countless Black families displaced by eminent domain and had their homes taken."
A huge shout out to Sofia Connors, Sydney Crowley, Christian Haro, Juan Herdoiza, and Bright Lee for your outstanding work on this project!
