2024 Speaker Series
2024 Housing Committee Speaker Series
In 2024, the NAACP San Mateo Branch Housing Committee hosted a powerful Speaker Series focused on housing justice, security, affordability, and availability across the SF Peninsula and beyond. These monthly discussions brought together advocates and community members to explore critical issues and solutions in housing equity.
We’re excited to continue the conversation in 2025! Stay tuned for upcoming events and opportunities to engage in the fight for racial and economic justice in housing. Check back soon for details on next year’s Speaker Series!
