Evictions often go unnoticed. People are asked to leave quietly and threatened with arrest if they don’t.

The Eviction Resistance Network aims to stand in solidarity with those being evicted by peacefully demonstrating against their eviction and supporting them in standing up for their right to a home.
We are living in times of a housing crisis and we urge the government to protect people’s fundamental human right to a place to shelter. The eviction resistance network comprises a diverse range of people. The one common factor is that we, the resistance, will not stand back and watch while members of our community lose their homes.

SQUATTASTIC!

Calling all squatters and friends of squatters, for workshops, discussions and dinner from 2pm - 6pm on Sunday 15th July. Location to be announced a week before.

See you there!

Welcome all to the new eviction resistance blog. We are a non hierarchical social movement that promotes peaceful resistance against evictions.

What is "Broom Clean" Condition?

The purchase contract used in the Rochester, NY area requires that a home be in 'broom clean' condition at the time of possession.  After a recent final walk through in which the floor was clean but the rest of the house was a wreck, I figured it was time to chat about this subject.
