Description

Holding Ground: The Rebirth of Dudley Street

As part of our "Reel Stories: Housing Justice in Film" series with Trilingua Cinema, we will be holding a screening and discussion around a documentary about community organizing in one Boston neighborhood that had had enough of being used as a dumping ground.
 

What is the Housing Justice Program?
The Housing Justice Program grew out of East Side Housing Justice, a coalition that began in 2019 that drove discussion around housing issues. We are continuing that work by coalition building and creating events that help us rethink common narratives around housing

What are Third Thursdays?
As part of our Housing Justice Program, we are holding events on Third Thursdays to talk about housing in a variety of ways, like documentary screeningss and talks with local activists! We hope to spark invigorating discussion and build quality connections amongst our community.

Why you should come!
Come through to learn and meet others who care about housing! We want people to carry lessons from these events beyond our four walls and make connections. Here at ESFL, we believe solidarity is the way forward, so come through, make friends and start building power for change!
