Hudson Valley Housing Crisis
Did you know that there is a housing crisis in New York's "Hudson Valley" region? Here are some transmissions to get familiar with the current landscape around housing...
It is our hope that folks get familiar with the "warning signs" of gentrification in our region and do all that we can to stop it. We also hope that folks divest from the oppressive systems and structures that allow for landlords, business owners, and realtors to hoard land and hoard housing and, instead, create new ways of living and caring for one another. The road is long, but things have not always been the way they are now and do not need to continue on in this unsustainable and oppressive way.
Housing is a human right. No peace on stolen land. Click here to read our land acknowledgment.
