EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT LAND TRUSTS & MORE!

National Public Housing Museum invites you to participate in a virtual land trust teach-in.

Register here to receive the Zoom Meeting Link: nphmlandtrust.eventbrite.com.

PART ONE: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM (CT)
LUNCH BREAK
PART TWO: 1-2:30 PM (CT)

As land and gardens have often been an extension of someone’s home, this program will share the history and civil rights roots of the land trust movement. Learn about why land trusts are an essential political tool and how they can ensure community control over land. By advocating against displacement and commodification of land, we can imagine an alternative and collective future where housing is a human right.

Speakers include:

SHIRLEY SHERROD: Civil rights and land collective activist, co-founder of New Communities

ANTON SEALS JR.: Lead Steward of Grow Greater Englewood

ZACHARY MURRAY: Oakland based housing activist and Partnership for the Bay’s Future Fellow(Additional guests to be added.)

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

For those participating in Chicago, we are partnering with Community Kitchen to distribute free, delicious meals.
