40 families in Los Angeles in danger of becoming evicted if Boston University sells our apartment buildings to for-profit buyers.
BU received our buildings for FREE. We want to buy them. This is a win-win proposition.

These dispositions are slow moving, as is new construction, so a little hard to gauge impacts at this point

[Leo Goldberg @leogoldstuff]

@rcmoya84 @JamesDeFilippis I'm here! Some. A little.

There are a couple active CLT campaigns to win control of Surplus Lands sites. A CLT in South Lake Tahoe also just broke ground on a large project that was transferred via the Surplus Lands process. You can get a feel for that in our new report...

Last month @KQED reporter @e_baldi authored a story on a loophole corporations have taken advantage of to steal homes away fr communities. Today, that loophole is closed because #AB1837 which tackles this problem was signed! Thanks @CACLTN for your partnership fr start to finish

[Assemblymember Mia Bonta @AsmMiaBonta]

Its a loophole that greedy corporations managed to find. My bill, #AB1837, is focused on ensuring that the intention matches the implementation.

Amazing victory coming out of Oakland: tenants pressured their landlord to sell their building, and joined a community land trust!

10 years ago, Occupy Wall Street transformed American politics.

-Scrutiny of wealth inequality.
-Wide support for taxing the rich.
-Bernie’s meteoric rise.

There is plenty we can learn from Occupy's missteps, but the movement had more impact than you think.
