I'm excited to be speaking at the Social Purpose Real Estate Summit in Detroit 10/24-10/26 with my comrade Alex Desiga. Our session title is: Challenging Land Ownership through Power Building and Place Making: Broadway Parque and Milky Way Garden Stories https://t.co/iTzgJleB5f

Are you, or do you know any book keeper, accountant or financially minded person who lives/works in the Tower District & interested in community ownership & alternative economic systems other than capitalism? If so, let's chat or please connect me with who you know that fits.

[Kiel Lopez-Schmidt @kieltls]

@joe4hinojosa @CityofFresno Yes, I know it's there. I'm saying it is far harder to find it that before and much more confusing, which should not be the goal of a website redesign.

[Kiel Lopez-Schmidt @kieltls]

Whoever redesigned the @CityofFresno website made it harder to find the calendar of public meetings. It was two click before now I can't even find it at https://t.co/vsv4JTILok and have to search outside to find it at https://t.co/EbjuQUoVNv

Marched in today’s @pride_fresno to celebrate success with Broadway Parque & the creation of South Tower Community Land Trust. We’ll continue to build community power & ownership of public spaces & housing. Whose streets? Our streets! Parks not police! South Tower Power!

[Kiel Lopez-Schmidt @kieltls]

Broadway Parque 10am today with the Parks Committee of South Tower Community Land Trust. Share updates about park progress & opportunities. Dream about what we want to manifest next. Celebrate our wins by marching in the Fresno Pride Parade.

Join us, exercising people power.

@PortervillePrez Thank you for being amping those who taught me the tools to do this work.

Feeling inadequate & rejected this morning.

After harvesting my breakfast & sitting in silence as the world awakens, I remember all the things my hands have grown & built. Thinking about the strength, passion & patience I still have.

What can you share that’ll refill my cup?

[Kiel Lopez-Schmidt @kieltls]

@PapaDock1961 Thank you friend.

[Kiel Lopez-Schmidt @kieltls]

Just got called for a political survey for the Fresno State sales tax initiative. The questions asked definitely signal some of their potential strategies. I told them we should pass a millionaire tax to fund these things.

[Kiel Lopez-Schmidt @kieltls]

This is what we’ve founded South Tower Community Land Trust to combat.
