Today it was exciting to relaunch City Life Vida Urbana’s arts and culture committee. Art and culture is a cornerstone of social justice movement and our people are bringing their gifts of writing, cooking, theatre, photography, paper mache, painting, sewing, knitting and crochet, chant leading, singing, rapping, printmaking, zines, and all kinds of other art forms. Thank you in particular to Wagner Foundation and New England Foundation for the Arts for resourcing this beautiful community work!

Thank you to Boston.com for the amazing look at the dynamic community organizing that City Life Vida Urbana does every day, from Lawrence to Brockton.
Another way to protect tenants from eviction and rent hikes could be legislation called the Tenants Opportunity To Purchase Act (TOPA), CLVU organizers said. Yvette Moore, a 65-year-old yoga instructor living in Dorchester, is one such case of what TOPA could look like in Massachusetts. After months of open houses, multiple purchase attempts, and negotiating, the landlord of Moore’s building finally accepted an offer in December from the Boston Neighborhood Community Land Trust, a nonprofit that works to combat displacement and to create permanently affordable, community-controlled housing in the Boston area, particularly in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. When the purchase is complete, Moore’s rent will never go up, and the building will remain affordable even if she moves. “We’re hoping we can get more of these in Boston. Hopefully this fight will continue opening up the door for others,” Moore said. // Thank you for your leadership Yvette, Laura, and Betty! You are the movement leaders we have been dreaming of. Boston Neighborhood Community Land Trust is such an important anchor for our community; thank you for your partnership Meridith Levy. https://lnkd.in/g7ZGVxXt
