Juneteenth marks freedom. But freedom was never accompanied by land, reparations or the wealth stolen through slavery and its aftermath. In this 2020 piece, @julianagyeman and @KBbop make the case for a Black commons as one path forward. inthesetimes.com/article/lan…

Black People Own Less of the U.S. than 100 Years Ago. A ‘Black Commons’ Could Help Reverse the Trend

Investigative reporting about corporate malfeasance and government wrongdoing, analysis of national and world affairs, and cultural criticism that matters.

Now available! Throughout the nineteenth century, Black thinkers grappled with the material limits of freedom. THE LOWEST FREEDOM offers a reinterpretation of African American political thought that centers the struggle for economic justice. buff.ly/df0vlx7 @LowestFreedom

Today, June 2, is London Cost of Rent Day. By now, the average London renter has effectively worked 5 months just to pay their landlord. That's 5 months of wages gone on rent alone. Londoners need stronger protections on their rents!

The continued rise of vacant properties across London

Rising rates of homelessness, unaffordability and low house-building rates across the region, have created a perfect storm in the capital.
