We are joined by local organizers with We The People Michigan Tristen and K to discuss a plan by the City of Kalamazoo to use ARPA (American Rescue Plan) funds- originally allocated for COVID-19 relief- to fund a project to renovate and "secure" the Arcadia Creek Festival Site.
We talk with them about why they feel relief funds should be used differently, the actual plan that would involve selling off part of the park to private developers, and how this speaks to larger issues of gentrification and the use of public space.
