DESCRIPTION:Throughout the 1990s, Bay Area activists confronted the first wave of 
 dot.com displacement on multiple fronts, ranging from direct action to 
 grassroots electoral uprisings. Despite some impressive organizing 
 victories, the overall war against gentrification was lost. Join Fernando 
 Marti (ex-Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition) and James Tracy (ex-Eviction 
 Defense Network) in a discussion about what it takes to fight for a city 
 from below. The stories of squatters, home-defenders, populist 
 politicians,land reformers and  public housing residents will be told 
 through a slideshow presentation of protest posters from the era. Together 
 we will explore ideas confronting today’s antagonists of 
 displacement:\n\n    With Real Estate Industry strategies tied to global 
 investment patterns, is there any such thing as a local solution to 
 displacment?\n    Is it possible to combine Direct Action and engagement in 
 the local electoral process?\n    Is land-reform in the global city even 
 possible?\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/10/13/18744822.php
