EAST SIDE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT CO-OP (ESCIC)

The East Side Community Investment Cooperative is a new project stemming from the values of anti-displacement, neighborhood self-determination, local ownership, equity, and keeping affordable rental possible for both businesses and residents.

This initiative is meant to be a project in small-scale democracy, allowing individual residents to have an impact in their neighborhood the same way developers and investors can. We're hosting Community Events that can be found on the calendar (CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW) and launching a member drive soon. 

  • MISSION

    To work to secure sites for community preservation and growth with an emphasis on local democratic input and control.

  • VISION

    We want the community to have a say in what gets developed in our neighborhood!

  • VALUES

    Anti-displacement, neighborhood self-determination, local-ownership, equity, and keeping affordable rental possible for both businesses and residents.

  • POINTS OF UNITY

    We believe restorative solutions are rooted in collective land stewardship and decision-making.

    We move at the pace of community, not capital. We prioritize people, the planet, and future generations over profits.
