What organizing and resident-run community land trusts make possible....

An inspiring news story for a change. A collective of single parent mothers, Moms 4 Housing, reclaimed a home they were about to be evicted from. They paired up with the Oakland Community Land Trust. The Mayor and Council gave them first rights of refusal for all of the properties from the company they were fighting, Wedgewood.

This is what is possible with strong organizing- heat from the bottom that leads to heat from the top!
