Our suspect is not just one person; it’s a system. From corporate developers to private equity firms to Wall Street landlords, too many bad actors have their hands in the heist to steal our homes. While it may not all look the same or talk the same, the system works with a single goal in mind: to consolidate power and profit at any cost. The culprit(s) behind this long-standing heist want us to believe this is just the way things are - that these instances of predatory action are individual and independent of each other - but that’s not true. Rather, this long-standing scheme is an interconnected web held together by systemic oppression, special interests and harmful policies, allowing developers, financial institutions, and corporations to prey on communities with impunity for years. For too long, the names and institutions at the head of this toxic system have operated with impunity. Read through each of our four cases to see how our courageous protagonists held them accountable, and how you can too.
