This event facilitated exchanges between Park-Extension residents and tenant rights organisers and East-Harlem’s Movement for Justice in El Barrio, a people-led movement committed to keeping people in their homes, to denouncing bad landlords and to demanding urban planning strategies that are centered on the needs of the people.
The event was held with the collaboration of the Comité d’Action de Parc-Extension, Concordia University’s Office of Community Engagement and the Center for Community Organizations (COCo), with the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
