Scholar and activist Peter Dreier will be at the Armory Center for the Arts on Tuesday, February 17th at 7pm.
Mr. Dreier will present his recent Pasadena Weekly article and report, A Tale of Two Pasadenas which both document the widening income gap in Pasadena and the Los Angeles region:
In Pasadena, the income of households near the top ($249,841) is almost 10.8 times greater than the income of those near the bottom ($23,042). Only four of the 37 California cities with more than 140,000 people have a wider rich-poor gap — San Francisco (12.4), Oakland (11.2) Glendale (11), and Los Angeles (10.9). No other cities have a rich-poor gap in double digits.
Learn what this widening gap means for Pasadena residents and how strong community advocacy is needed now to inform the City’s General Plan.
A community discussion will be held immediately following the presentation.
Hosted by the Local Economy Incubator of the Arroyo Sustainable Economies Community Organization.
