The occupation

A woman with long locs rests her face against the head of the child she is holding, eyes lowered, at a crowded outdoor gathering.

Where it began — the house, the mothers, the stand.

2020 onward

A movement grows

Two women in black Moms 4 Housing T-shirts stand inside a wooden frame on a gallery stage; one speaks while a screen beside them reads “If housing were a human right…”.

What the stand became — organizing, community, wins.

Now

A woman in a bright pink sweater bags leafy greens at an outdoor table crowded with open boxes of lettuce, cabbage, romanesco and carrots, in front of a wooden fence.

The work now, and where it's going.
