Good Reads (and videos, and podcasts, and more!)

*STAFF PICK* Book | The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein | On her first day at EB PREC, our new co-worker Lauren Jones told us about how she’s reading a book called The Color of Law. It details how federal housing policies created segregation and undermined the ability of Black families to own homes.

Blog Post | Meeting Chaos With Calm | On election day, Movement Generation’s Mateo Nube writes about routine self-care, emergency community-preparedness, and the importance of remembering the #WeGotWe message. Although we already know who the presidential winner is, Mateo urges us to prepare for a potential coup.

Video | Community Exchange on Adverse Possession and Squatting | In last month’s fireside chat, Noni Session joined the Village’s Needa B and the Radical Real Estate Law School’s Christine Hernandez to talk about obtaining housing through squatting and through a strange legal doctrine called adverse possession. We recorded the community exchange for those who couldn't make it! 

Video | The History of Land Grabs & How to Fight Back | Our Director Noni Session shares so much of our vision in this panel and fishbowl discussion hosted by the Sustainable Economies Law Center. The presenters start us off with a 15 minute presentation about the history of land grabs and then speakers from housing and land justice orgs share our tips on how we’re fighting back. Other speakers included Corrina Gould from Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, Alvina Wong from APEN, and so many more!
