 Blockades: Eviction Defense, Buses, and more: At Eviction Free San 
 Francisco, a direct action mutual aid collective, we've found that one of 
 the best ways to put pressure on speculators and tech companies is to take 
 direct action on the streets. We've used a variety of tactics, from 
 stopping Google buses demanding evictions be rescinded immediately, to 
 linking arms outside of homes being evicted by speculators. We've also 
 organized numerous protests outside of the homes and offices of landlords, 
 investors, and real estate companies. Come learn about our tactics and 
 mutual aid organizing strategies, and help think of new ways to fight 
 against a political economy of dispossession. - Eviction free
