El sábado 1 de agosto, vamos a celebrar una fiesta cultural para conmemorar más de 30 años de lucha por el control de rentas, en homenaje a las personas mayores que lo vivieron, junto con los voluntarios, activistas y organizadores que lucharon en el pasado y que actualmente están construyendo juntos el futuro del control de rentas. ​De 2PM–5PM, actividades durante todo el día: serigrafía con Ñ Press, inauguración de la galería «control de renta», con cuatro relatos en audio de personas mayores de Roxbury, juegos en el patio para todas las edades, comida y bebidas disponibles durante todo el día ​2:30 a 3:30 pm: La riqueza afroamericana en Roxbury. Una conversación con Marie Firmin Marie nos traslada a través de la historia de la construcción de la riqueza afroamericana en Roxbury, incluyendo el papel de Billie Holiday, a través del jazz y de la música, ayudando a fomentar el emprendimiento de los residentes afroamericanos de Roxbury. Venga a aprender la historia que no nos enseñaron. 3:30 a 5:00 pm: Micrófono Abierto y Palabras Expresadas. ​Con la poeta y artista de Palabras Expresadas Essmaa Litim, además de una poeta de Roxbury que pronto será anunciada, enlazada con testimonios en vivo de organizadores que lucharon por el control de renta en los 90s y de organizadores que siguen en la lucha hasta ahora. Traiga un poema, una historia, una canción. El micrófono es suyo. ​5:00 a 6:00 pm: Cena Comunitaria + Honramos a nuestros voluntarios y Actualizaciones sobre el control de renta ​Servida con cariño porque nadie puede organizar con el estómago vacío. Vamos a celebrar y a reconocer a los voluntarios en la Campaña del control de renta que hicieron posible esta Campaña histórica y vamos a compartir hacia dónde va la lucha ahora, recién cumplido el plazo legislativo del 31 de julio. ​7:00 pm hasta tarde: FIESTA 🎉 DE BAILE. ​Porque la alegría es resistencia y porque una fiesta de renta no es una fiesta de renta sin bailar.
