The Right to the City
Capitalism and Gentrification
Socialism 2014
June 26, 2014
With Jeff Boyette and Lauryn Flizeer
As the city transforms into a playground for the rich, the gentrified—overwhelmingly Black and Latino—become rent-burdened and forced out of their neighborhoods. From New York to San Francisco, the dispossessed are fighting back and demanding that housing be a right, not a commodity. This session is a discussion about the Right to the City and how working people are organizing to achieve it.
