The Take Back the Land Movement: The People’s Movement Assembly to Free the Land and Life

The Take Back the Land Movement (TBLM) is a national initiative launched by the Land and Housing Action Group (LHAG). The Land and Housing Action group is an affiliated body of the US Human Rights Network (USHRN). The objective of the Take Back Land Movement is to realize the human right to adequate housing in the US by building and inspiring a mass direction action movement that situates decision making power directly in the hands of impacted families and communities, particularly those in Indigenous, Black, and Latino communities.

This Assembly will focus on building and expanding the Take Back the Land Movement by engaging in a comprehensive unity building and demand development session that seeks to combine forces with the historic land struggles of the oppressed peoples within the United States and its colonial holdings - Indigenous Nations, Black, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Hawaiian, Guam, etc., the emerging Ecological Justice and Solidarity Economy movements, with the anti-war, labor, queer, and left/anti-capitalist movements.
