Angel Cosme, a local activist who runs the “Brockton Volunteers” Facebook page, one of the organizers behind the event, said the intent is to begin a dialogue about the cost of renting or owning a home in Brockton and how it is being affected by the development of more luxury apartments, with a wealthier population that’s moving in from Boston and other more costly areas.
“What we are proposing to do is define what gentrification is,” said Cosme, who has worked as an organized for Brockton Interfaith Community.
