Join us for the presentation of the Housing Justice Oral History Project, where you can gain insight into its objectives, methodologies, impact, and ways to become actively involved.

The Housing Justice Oral History Project is an ongoing collective endeavor bringing together New York residents, activists, organizers, scholars, tenant associations, grassroots groups, and community organizations. Combining oral history, critical cartography, and community advocacy, this project aims to amplify local memories, voices, and efforts while preserving the history of the housing movement.

As part of the discussion, we will introduce four of the ongoing oral history projects: Picture the Homeless Oral History Project, Cooper Square Oral History Project, Voces Ciudadanas Oral History Project, and Sunset Park is Not for Sale Oral History Project.
