The Poor People’s Army, formerly the Poor People’s Economic and Human Rights Campaign, has been leading efforts across the country to place individuals and families who need them into federally-owned housing for a long time. Their position is that housing is a human right and that people in need should not be forced to wait for shelter. They recently published “Takeover: A Human Rights Approach to Housing” on Poor People’s Press, a step-by-step guide to occupying empty houses. Clearing the FOG speaks with Cheri Honkala, the lead author, and Galen Tyler, a lead organizer with the Poor People’s Army, about the current housing crisis and how people can use the new book to end the crisis of homelessness.
