KPBS’ Tarryn Mento reports that the City Heights Economic Development Collaborative is seeking California Cultural District designation for the Little Saigon area of City Heights. If successful it will join the Barrio Logan and Balboa Park districts to represent San Diego among the current fourteen designated districts. The hope is that this designation can be used in the fight against gentrification.
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
