Losing Our Homes

MECR joined with other groups to present this panel on losing our homes. We have been pleased with how many people have shown up for these Zoom panels. The panelists themselves were great, and were able to shed light on how housing dispossession works against African Americans in the US, and Palestinians in the West Bank. Watch the "Losing Our Homes" panel on YouTube.

Thursday, Sept. 10 Zoom panel on Losing Our Homes: The Destruction of Community, Culture and Identity. In this perfect storm of economic and pandemic crisis, millions of people run the risk of displacement through evictions, foreclosures, gentrification, and ethnic cleansing. Rashida Tyler, Founder of The REAL Kingston Tenants Union and Board Member of Citizen Action of New York, and Talal Jabari, Palestinian journalist and documentary filmmaker, will each make a short statement, including their own personal observations of displacement. We will then open the panel up to questions. To register in advance for this Zoom meeting go to https://mideastcrisis.org.
