Razing Liberty Square: The Reality Of Gentrification and The Attack On Public Housing

About the Event

Join us for a screening of the documentary: Razing Liberty Square followed by a plática, moderated by Councilwoman Teri Castillo

Razing Liberty Square explores the impact of public housing loss, gentrification, big developers, and climate change on low-income neighborhoods in Miami. One community in particular grapples with these issues as powerful developers work to divert public funds into private hands. In San Antonio, working-class neighborhoods face similar challenges. The Opportunity Homes initiative threatens to privatize the Alazán Courts, while local officials partner with wealthy developers to funnel public funds into stadiums, displacing hundreds of tenants. Join housing activists from Miami and San Antonio for a crucial discussion on the housing crisis following the screening.

Panelists:

Phillip Adcock – Resident, Soap Factory Apartments
Trenise Bryant- Resident, Liberty Square (Miami)
Samantha Kenley – Resident of Liberty Square
Aaron McKinney – Developer in Razing Liberty Square
Kayla Miranda – Housing Justice Organizer
Megan Navarro – Founder of the Robert E. Lee Tenant’s Union
