Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Movies or short videos about cohousing (Malin Hansen)

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

I really liked your animated short, Diane. Very clever and appealing. How is it 
working for you?

Maybe it's because I live in a city that is predominantly nonwhite that I'm 
very sensitized to this stuff but I didn't see anything about equal housing 
opportunity. In fact I see that missing from practically all marketing 
materials that I see from other Cohousing communities.

Here at Takoma village I insist that we have an EHO symbol on all our paper 
material.  You will see it on the sales flyers uploaded to our website. 

And now I'm going to ask our webmaster Sharon Villines to make sure it's 
prominently displayed on our website. If it isn't there already that is…

You can get free copies of the EHO symbol just by googling it under Google 
images.

I don't see how we're ever going to get any racial diversity into cohousing if 
we continue to produce information that is targeted to and shows only white 
people. 

But… Maybe were not committed to racial diversity. Who am I to say?

And now… What bomb did I set off?
