Led by Amanda Hall

There are ten abandoned properties for every homeless Philadelphian, yet people are dying on the streets. The Poor People’s Army has a common sense solution: take over vacant government-owned housing and fix it up for homeless families. The book “Takeover! A Human Rights Approach to Housing” details how the organized poor are using the power of community to stay alive – because basic human rights aren’t up for negotiation.

Please join us for this service led by Amanda Hall who, along with author Cheri Honkala and fellow Poor People’s Army member Lisa, will discuss their work and what it means to take bold risks to keep each other alive in a dangerous political climate.
