Organizing with Unhoused Communities in LA

Theo Henderson, Martha Escudero, General Dogon, Members of Unhoused Tenants Against Carceral Housing (UTACH)

What does the struggle for autonomous community control of housing and services look like in Los Angeles, where 5 unhoused people die every day? Learn from unhoused leaders and community organizers on the fight back against criminalization of poverty and the fight for community control of our housing. We will discuss the history of criminalization of unhoused people living in Los Angeles in order to understand what is needed at this moment in our struggle for housing justice and liberation.
