MLOV por invitación de The “National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development” CAPACD, participó en el panel de expertos sobre desplazamiento forzado interno debido a procesos de urbanización y desarrollo de la ciudad el evento llamado”  “Resisting Displacement in the “Cappuccino City” con la Participación de
·         Daniel del Pielago, (Empower DC)
·         Jairo Valencia, MLOV (Many Languages One Voice)
·         Dominic Moulden, ONE (Organizing Neighborhood Equity DC) 

​La descripción del evento a continuación fue el foco del panel:

Washington D.C. es un lugar donde los defensores de todo el país a menudo se congregan para hacer que sus voces sean escuchadas en la política federal, pero también es el hogar de casi 700,000 residentes, quienes han sido sistemáticamente privados de sus derechos electorales y denegados. El paisaje de la ciudad ha cambiado drásticamente en los últimos años debido al rápido desarrollo, cambiando la demografía de una "ciudad del chocolate" históricamente mayoritariamente negra a una en la que los residentes de color a largo plazo están siendo desplazados de sus hogares y vecindarios (ahora llamada la "Ciudad de Cappucino"). A pesar de la falta de recursos e infraestructura para apoyar los esfuerzos locales de organización de base, las organizaciones comunitarias han estado luchando contra el desplazamiento residencial, desarrollando campañas dirigidas por los residentes para proteger a los inquilinos, luchar por los derechos de los trabajadores y santuario para los nuevos inmigrantes. Únase a las organizaciones locales de base en una discusión sobre el contexto único en DC, el panorama actual de organización y las campañas actuales para luchar por la justicia racial y económic
La participación de Jairo Valencia de MLOV se centró en el marco conceptual de los refugiados y desplazados forzados, quienes tienen normas internacionales de protección a diferencia de los desplazados por “gentrificación” que se dan en los procesos de desarrollo urbanístico en la ciudad y cuyos afectados no cuentan con herramientas legales de protección.
Daniel del Pielago y Dominic Moulden ampliaron la información diagnóstica del problema y mostraron estadísticas del como la ciudad se ha tornado de ser la “Ciudad Chocolate a la Ciudad Capuchino” donde un flujo migratorio ha ocupado vecindarios donde mayoritariamente ha sido habitada por población afro washingtonia, los cuales han sido desplazados. Del como la ciudad no garantiza la atención de los desplazados, además nos mostraron cómo a través sus organizaciones afrontan esta problemática.

En los comentarios, Jairo de MLOV, hizo énfasis en la necesidad de reconstruir con dignidad la vida de las personas y sus comunidades que han sufrido de desplazamiento, además resaltando la importancia de la cultura y el idioma como elemento importante para desarrollar cualquier atención a las personas que los necesitan. Igualmente centro su punto en la importancia de definir el concepto de Santuario para todos y que debe cubrir a todos los habitantes especialmente a los más vulnerables como en este caso los afectados por desplazamiento por procesos de gentrificación.

MLOV at the invitation of The "National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development" CAPACD, participated in the panel of experts on internal forced displacement due to urbanization processes and development of the city the event called "" Resisting Displacement in the "Cappuccino City" with the participation of
·         Daniel del Pielago, (Empower DC)
·         Jairo Valencia, MLOV (Many Languages One Voice)
·         Dominic Moulden, ONE (Organizing Neighborhood Equity DC)  

The description of the event below was the focus of the panel:

  Washington D.C. is a place where advocates from across the country often congregate to make their voices heard on federal policy, but it is also home to nearly 700,000 residents, who have been systematically disenfranchised and denied voting rights.   The city's landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years due to rapid development, shifting the demographics of a historically majority- Black, “Chocolate city” to one where long-term people of color residents are being displaced from their homes and neighborhoods (now called the “Cappuccino City”). Despite a lack of resources and infrastructure to support local grassroots organizing efforts, community-based organizations have been fighting back against residential displacement, building out resident led campaigns for tenant protections, fighting for worker's rights, and sanctuary for new immigrants.  Join local grassroots organizations in a discussion about the unique context in DC, the current landscape of organizing, and current campaigns to fight for racial and economic justice.      The participation of Jairo Valencia of MLOV focused on the conceptual framework of refugees and forced displaced persons, who have international protection standards, unlike those displaced by "gentrification" that occur in urban development processes in the city and whose affected they do not have legal protection tools.

Daniel del Pielago and Dominic Moulden expanded the diagnostic information of the problem and showed statistics of how the city has turned from being the "Chocolate City to the Capuccino City" where a migratory flow has occupied neighborhoods where it has been inhabited mostly by Afro-Washington population, which have been displaced. Of how the city does not guarantee the attention of the displaced, they also showed us how their organizations face this problem.

In his remarks, Jairo from MLOV emphasized the need to rebuild with dignity the lives of people and their communities who have suffered from displacement. He also highlighted the importance of culture and language in the context of displacement.  Finally, Jairo defined the concept of Sanctuary for ALL, which must cover all the inhabitants, especially to the most vulnerable as in this case those affected by displacement by processes of gentrification.
