Housing Justice League
Housing Justice League started in 2008 as a part of Occupy Atlanta. In 2016, they changed their name from "Occupy Our Homes Atlanta" to Housing Justice League. They became a non-profit group in 2014.
Housing Justice League is allied with the Atlanta chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the American Friends Service Committee and Moral Monday Georgia.
Work with Party for Socialism and Liberation
The Housing Justice League teamed with the Party for Socialism and Liberation to "Protest at the Alabama Association of Realtors to defend the federal eviction moratorium".[1]
Democratic Socialists of America
Housing Justice League and Metro Atlanta Democratic Socialists of America worked together to agitate against landlords for a rally in April 2021.[2]
Moral Monday Georgia
Housing Justice League board members Tim Franzen and Greg Ames are connected to Moral Monday Georgia.
Funding
According to their website:[3]
- "From the beginning, the international Quaker peace organization American Friends Service Committee committed to financially incubating the organization as part of their Atlanta Economic Justice Program. This has allowed the organization to grow from a solid financial foundation. We are currently phasing out of this economic partnership and moving towards full financial independence."
