How to Claim the Right to Housing and the City: Take Over, Take Back, and Take It to the World!
This session has two parts: 1) exploration of world-wide actions to claim the right to housing, and 2) a skill-building workshop on taking over/taking back housing. In this “how to” session, participants will explore the tactic of taking over (or taking back) vacant homes and land as part of an overall strategy and learn the basic skills for conducting successful actions. We will examine the theories behind the actions, as well as the multiple approaches used in the USA and around the globe. we expect to emerge with a concrete plan for travelling the road to the World Assembly of Inhabitants, which will be held in conjunction with the World Social Forum in Dakar in 2011.
And come to t he first face-to-face, open meeting of the USAI Provisional Steering Committee! It will begin during the IAI/USAI session described above and reconvene at June 24 5:30 pm (Detroit, Cobo Joe's Grill, Congress between Cass and First)
