When Emily Gil learned of the lack of affordable housing in Englewood Cliffs and the fact she believes Black residents are priced out of her Bergen County hometown she felt an urgent need to enact change.

Like someone on Roland Martin's show said. Y'all tell us how you want us to show up. Tell us how you want us to protest. I promise you we will show up in whatever way you want, if you will listen. That's not the problem. The problem is you don't want black people to speak up or protest. PERIOD! It doesn't matter the way it is presented. You just don't want to hear it.
