This episode is a pre-recorded panel hosted by the Housing Justice Workgroup of the Coalition on Homelessness, San Francisco exploring the panelists own experiences with racism and homelessness. The speakers draw connections between racism, structural causes of homelessness such as neoliberalism and the defunding of housing investments for poor communities, the use of homeless people as a political wedge by monied interests as a smokescreen for racism, the disproportionate impact homelessness has on brown and especially black communities and why/how racist policies such as redlining have led to the lack of accumulated wealth in the Black community and where we should go from here.
Speakers include Joe Wilson, Director of Hospitality House, long time Housing Justice member Andrea Mayfield, Youth leader Malcolm Mobley, Jameel Patterson, son of late Mother Brown who founded United Council of Human Services. The panel is moderated by Laura Guzman, founder of Mission Neighborhood Resources Center, and currently of the Harm Reduction Coalition.
This panel has been shortened for the purposes of our podcast, but the full recording is available on the Coalition's Facebook page here:
