the uptick in labor/housing organizing feels so politically hopeful—please read this @LenaRoseGeller story for a close process look at how Durham tenants fought (AND WON!) to keep their homes. “We’d been out of sight, out of mind. So we got in sight.” indyweek.com/news/durham/ten…

Lemme tell ya, this reg reform bill (H600) that will be heard in Senate Judiciary at 2pm basically shreds several water quality laws into confetti. As well as some governing haz waste. @ncdeq @NCNewsline #ncga #ncpol

GOOD NEWS! ERA has agreed to meet our core demands: 1) Rescind the eviction notices 2) Turn the homes over to tenant ownership using a land trust housing model 3) Bring the homes up to healthy habitability standards It’s still too early to fully celebrate, BUT THIS IS HUGE!

“The source said he'd been working with her and knew she was facing eviction and that she’d put up two-by-fours and metal barricades over her door to prevent anyone from forcing her out of her apartment.” This hurts to read. Rest in power. We have so much work to do. – at Brooklyn, NY
