Economic Democracy Weekly

In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we feature stories on how people organize for housing justice. We begin with an article on how tenant unions are advancing across the country and how foundations can support their work. Next, an interview with Tara Raghuveer, founding director of KC Tenants in Kansas City, MO, and of the Tenant Union Federation. We follow that with two case study accounts. The first—from Denver, CO—explains how residents came together to create a resident-owned cooperative to own and control what had been a privately owned “mobile home” park. The second, from the San Francisco Bay Area, provides a first-hand account of how resident organizing stopped a private purchase and led to a community land trust with permanently affordable housing.
