Housing & The Everyday: Crisis, Vibrancy, and Organizing

Please join us on Thursday, October 28th at 7PM for the first part of The Baltimore Conversations, a panel series bringing together academics and community activists working in Baltimore. This panel will focus on the structures and strategies shaping housing and the everyday lives of Baltimoreans. We hope to challenge the dominant discourse of ‘progress’ that is predicated on systems of extraction by centering forgotten and marginalized narratives of the city. We invite dialogue on collectively shaping a right to the city.
