#justice4northfork has always used art in our organizing. It’s mattered to residents and has kept us strong when times are hard. Song, dance, visual art, poetry. We use joy and rage to build power. We are compiling our poems into a “tribute to north fork.” Stay tuned! #j4nf

.@RunWithCraig co-wrote legislation that could displace tens of thousands of West End residents over the next 20yrs. If we can't afford it don't build it. Residents need protection from what you created! #HoodwinkedbyCraig#RunWithCraig#StoptheTIF#rentcontrolNOW#Louisville
High school student Faith Plank of Morehead, Kentucky, says tenants need protection from eviction and urges lawmakers to act. "In March, my entire neighborhood was evicted to make room for a shopping center. I feel the pain of that eviction to this day."

Faith and her family were displaced from their trailer park in March 2021 so a developer could build a shopping mall. The federal eviction moratorium didn’t apply because it wasn’t a rent related eviction. Faith is working to support her mom.
