As we develop reparative spatial justice strategies that reckon with, repair, and transform the racist foundations of land and housing policies in the United States, it is essential that we understand the centrality of land for Indigenous, Black, and people of color. Across the country, and indeed across the world, communities that have faced legacies of dispossession and displacement are growing movements to reshape our relationships to land and create more just spatial futures. In this webinar, we invite you to learn more about strategies to transition land from the speculative market and into community-controlled models of land stewardship and caretaking.
Drawing on the experiences of working in conventional real estate, land justice, and living and working in community, the Center for Ethical Land Transition explores ways to decommodify, rematriate, and increase accessibility to land for Indigenous, Black, and POC communities. Join PolicyLink and the Center for Ethical Land Transition for a discussion of how communities, funders, policymakers, and landowners can advance this work, so that we may all deepen our relationships to land and upend the logics of dispossession that underpin our property system.
