The People Over Property Initiative (POPI) is a collective of local organizations, community organizers, community developers, village planning committee members, residents and lovers of our South Phoenix Community. We recognize the generational impact of a land use and development process by a City built on racial segregation and exploitation.

As we continue to face systemic racism in development today, we are guided by the following values: 
​
  • We center those most directly impacted by ​health disparity. 
  • We center Black Liberation and make visible the way Racism operates in the development process. 
  • We center healing and transformation in our recommendations, requests, considerations, and expectations for future development.
