Not in our name will Rice frame the innovation district development as socially responsible because of its benefits to students and future students when this benefit could come at the expense of low-income Black residents of Third Ward.

Rice's advisory council knowingly & incorrectly called their recommendations a Community Benefits Agreement to manipulate the general public into supporting the disingenuous effort & to gain unaccountable control over the drafting process... #ProtectTheTre houstonchronicle.com/politic…

.@RiceUniversity Management Company is really out here disregarding all the research on CBAs just so they can continue telling Black people that they don't know what's best for their own communities.
Until they cut the nonsense, this Innovation District is #NotInOurName.
Students for HCEDD retweeted
.@hcedd_ is working their ass off to get a #CBA to make the development equitable to the people it's about to erase/displace. At least link their story somewhere in the corporate, oligarchy fluff. Gahd.

Everyone should get to live in a safe, affordable home - in a community they love that loves them back.
We need a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) to set a new precedent for equitable development without displacement in Houston.
Wya @RiceUniversity?

How's the affordable housing situation in Houston?

We'll be there too. We've see this commercial before, and we're not buying it. #ProtectTheTre #CBAnow

It's been 1 whole year since the Rice Student Association passed a resolution supporting a CBA between RMC & @hcedd_.
Yet there's still a "deep divide between the course of action that Rice students support and the one that [RMC] still plans to take."

The Innovation District existentially threatens the lives and livelihoods of low-income Black people in Third Ward.
Until RMC signs a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) with @hcedd_, it's "Not in Our Name." #ProtectTheTre #CBAnow #BlackLivesMatter
