NYC-DSA's Tenant Organizing Working Group will host a screening and Panel Discussion of A HOME WORTH FIGHTING FOR: The Push to Stop the Demolition of Public Housing in Chelsea.

Through the eyes of longtime residents fighting to save their homes, A Home Worth Fighting For, exposes a flawed political process that prioritizes private developers over the preservation of public housing and dismisses calls for transparency. While pitched as resident-driven, the proposed demolition clearly aims to clear valuable land in Chelsea to make way for market rate development on public land. Determined to defend their community, residents organize to resist a profit-driven plan aimed at privatizing public housing. (Run time: 40 min.)

The film will be following by a discussion with the film's director and NYCHA residents. We'll discuss:

-Section 9 to Section 8 conversions

-How DSA can support public housing residents

-What a socialist's relationship to public housing should be

Comrades will also learn about ways to get involved in Tenant Organizing Working Group and Fulton and Elliot Chelsea Tenants Against Demolition.
