We, School of Echoes, a multi-racial and multi-generational autonomous collective of organizers, teachers, and sometimes artists, have collected this research in support of a practice of anti-gentrification organizing in Los Angeles: through shared leadership with Union de Vecinos, participation in the Boyle Heights Alliance Against Artwashing and Displacement, and as co-founders of the Los Angeles Tenants Union, where we give our energies daily. This syllabus draws together a host of readings that explore the profound contradictions between the economic use of housing-for profit and speculation-and this social use. Housing is much more than shelter: it is our connection to our communities, even our sense of self. This syllabus starts from the assumption that housing is a human right, that every person has the right to a safe and affordable place to live.
