Our friends at the Rosa Luxemburg Siftung (New York Office) and Right to the City Alliance USA invited us to take part in a closed-door roundtable on displacement and housing justice in late-October.  Activists from Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Los Angeles, New York, and London all participated. The discussion gave us good reason to be hopeful that transatlantic collaboration can produce a set of usable and effective best practices in the battle to keep people in their homes.  Read more about the meeting here and let us know if you have ideas to share!
