SUMMARY:Razing Liberty Square: The Reality Of  Gentrification & The Attack On Public Housing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the documentary: \nRazing Liberty Square\n\nfollowed by a plática\, moderated by Councilwoman Teri Castillo\, on  \nSaturday\, January 25\, from 6-9 PM. \nThis is a DREAMWEEK event \nRazing Liberty Square explores the impact of public housing loss\, gentrification\, big developers\, and climate change on low-income neighborhoods in Miami. One community in particular grapples with these issues as powerful developers work to divert public funds into private hands. In San Antonio\, working-class neighborhoods face similar challenges. The Opportunity Homes initiative threatens to privatize the Alazán Courts\, while local officials partner with wealthy developers to funnel public funds into stadiums\, displacing hundreds of tenants. Join housing activists from Miami and San Antonio for a crucial discussion on the housing crisis following the screening. \nPanelists: \n\nPhillip Adcock – Resident\, Soap Factory Apartments\nTrenise Bryant- Resident\, Liberty Square (Miami)\nSamantha Kenley – Resident of Liberty Square\nKayla Miranda – Housing Justice Organizer\nMegan Navarro – Founder of the Robert E. Lee Tenant’s Union \n\nThis is an in-person event\, free and open to the public. \nTraducción al español disponible.
