Building Power in the City: Reflections on the Emergence of the Right to the City Alliance & National Domestic Workers Alliance
Download (4 MB)
June 2008 - On the eve of the transition to an urban world majority, the struggle in the cities of the United States took two important steps forward. Two national grassroots networks representing different fronts of urban struggle were launched in 2007: the Right to the City Alliance (a national network of grassroots organizations fighting against gentrification) and the National Domestic Workers Alliance. The formation of these networks represents the maturation of the generation of organizing that began in the era of neoliberal globalization. These networks reflect an understanding that, as capitalism has changed, social movements also need to change and develop new forms of organization that will allow us to fight on new terrain.
FIERCE is a member of the Right to the City Alliance.
