# Event Details - **Event Name**: Rooted Policy Labs | Mobile, AL - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Producing city-specific, actionable policy and practice recommendations that prevent the displacement of Black-owned businesses.About this EventThe Mobile Rooted Anti-Displacement Lab — hosted by Kindred Futures, Vivian's Door, and RUNWAY — produces Mobile County–specific, actionable policy and practice recommendations that protect legacy businesses and open pathways for new entrepreneurs to launch and grow storefronts. The lab improves commercial affordability, expands community ownership, builds pathways from leasing to ownership, and strengthens local capacity to advance those solutions.The Rooted Lab focuses on commercial corridors facing structural change — where public investment, zoning shifts, redevelopment, and infrastructure decisions are reshaping who can stay, who can launch, and who gets priced out. Revitalization that does not protect what is rooted, or make room for what is coming next, repeats the displacement patterns of the past.Using localized data and real-time scenario modeling, the lab produces strategies with cross-sector stakeholders and culminates in a short policy brief with follow-up support to carry the work forward.What participants take awayFirst access to a new data dashboard tracking small business and commercial real estate trends across Mobile CountyA co-developed brief capturing the policy and practice solutions that emerge from the labA working network of business owners, capital partners, policymakers, and community advocates with shared language and aligned strategyThe hands-on lab brings together legacy business owners, emerging entrepreneurs, capital movers, policymakers, developers, residents and community advocates.Breakfast and lunch will be provided. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/64919f30-bf50-11f1-bf96-33a8fc21c298-rimg-w1110-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/64d69770-bf50-11f1-bf96-33a8fc21c298-rimg-w1141-h740-dc282828-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/mobile/rooted-policy-labs-mobile-al/100001997757825434 - **Event Categories**: business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 6 hours - Location: Bishop State Community College - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Mobile - **state**: AL - **country**: United States - **location**: Bishop State Community College - **lat**: 30.695991 - **long**: -88.05579159999999 - **full address**: Bishop State Community College, 351 North Broad Street, Mobile, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Rooted Policy Labs | Mobile, AL - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/06e9ee511eb6217d0255a3f605a858386d546b68d77c8f6a7e559df2d4930541-rimg-w1200-h600-dc181818-gmir.jpg?v=1786564897 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Rooted Policy Labs | Mobile, AL being held? - **A:** Rooted Policy Labs | Mobile, AL takes place on Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Bishop State Community College, 351 North Broad Street, Mobile, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Rooted Policy Labs | Mobile, AL? - **A:** Rooted Policy Labs | Mobile, AL is organized by Atlanta Wealth Building Intiative. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
