Grant Projects - Milo Woods Self Help Graphics & Art Youth Committee Housing Rights Video Project5/13/2021 Today I attended the final GIP capstone event for Milo Woods who requested a grant to subsidize the production of a four-part video series focused on the gentrification and displacement of East Los Angeles residents. The event included Milo speaking about his goals for the grant, which were to "raise awareness for housing rights and promote anti-displacement advocacy through oral histories and film making," and he invited Self Help Graphics Committee members like Natalie Godinez to speak with on the project. Milo had been working on his project since junior year which he began with a fellowship with the inaugural Self Help Graphics Youth Committee, and he clearly is very passionate about gentrification and displacement in East L.A., which is an issue I can connect with because I live close to East L.A and have studied issues with L.A. housing in the past. The committee primarily supports Latinx artists and you can find some of their infographics on this page: https://www.instagram.com/shg1970/?hl=en. I'll be excited to watch the final video series in June.

Jackson and Juliette covered how their project and collaboration with the SANAH project would benefit new Americans by providing them laptops. Lastly, Maggie and Katie talked about how their project with the Lily Project would
