*We are here* for tonight's 6pm #CLT + Housing Co-ops (virtual) event.

Register at https://t.co/YJe3eqyOFT to discuss the all important question: "How we can strengthen these tools for decommodified housing?"

[Cooper Square Community Land Trust @CooperSqCLT]

CLTs and housing co-ops are integral parts of what we call the solidarity economy. If we want a more just society, where ppl have greater democratic control over all parts life, then democratic housing & land models must be a part of that! Join our friends for this amazing convo!

[UHAB @uhab_nyc]

Next week: Join us for a panel on community land trusts and housing co-ops with @NewEconomyNYC, @NYCCLI, East New York Community Land Trust, and Cooper Square Mutual Housing Association.

🚩RT if you believe public land should remain permanently as a public good and never be sold off to for profit developers 👏👏👏

[Cooper Square Community Land Trust @CooperSqCLT]

[Cooper Square Community Land Trust @CooperSqCLT]

Groups all over NYC are organizing to take control of land in their neighborhoods. They're ready to self-govern housing and community spaces, stop displacement, build resident power!

[NYCCLI @NYCCLI]

Public Land in Public Hands CLT Day of Action RECAP!! We know the path to racial & economic justice is to put resources directly into control of our black and brown communities. We believe CLT's helps to do this-- place land and housing into comm. control + perm. affordability.

[Cooper Square Community Land Trust @CooperSqCLT]

You love to see it.

[Street Vendor Project @VendorPower]

When the city tried to give this publicly-owned building away to Amazon, organizing kept it public!

Now - with @wqclt we’re plotting to turn it into a community land trust: community-owned and run space, including a commissary kitchen & street vendor garage!

[NYCCLI @NYCCLI]

[Cooper Square Community Land Trust @CooperSqCLT]

A pretty amazing site mock up of the DOE building by @wqclt. They’re looking to incorporate commercial and manufacturing spaces for food justice/care/arts groups, and the DOE itself. CLTs across the city are organized and ready to take control and steward land!

“We want to ask that Faith and this company come to the table...people want to have a commonsense conversation and live with dignity and have the respect of their neighbor and friends who are allies,” @CarlinaRivera said.
