We sat down with artist, organizer and public housing resident Kaaha Kaahiye of the Defend Glendale and Public Housing Coalition to talk about the struggle for public housing in Minneapolis and beyond.

Kaaha talks about the origins of the powerful Defend Glendale campaign, the fight against privatization of public hosing, the role of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, the Mayor and City Council, the tragic 2019 fire in the Cedar-Riverside towers and how folks can join the struggle to protect and expand public housing.

In this final episode of Season 1 we ground ourselves in the values and goals of the show and give a brief history of the Upper Harbor Terminal development. We also give an overview and analysis of the UHT 'Collaborative Planning Committee" as well offer some perspective on how we might organize together in the months to come.

Huge salute to the producer of the show Isaac Specktor!

This episode opens with North Minneapolis architect and community based developer Paul Bauknight reading an excerpt from his powerful letter of resignation from the Upper Harbor Terminal Collaborative Planning Committee (CPC). Mr. Bauknight, along w/ Committee co-chair Tessa Antilla, resigned from there appointed positions on the CPC stating that the process could not produce justice or equity for North Minneapolis. We sat down with Mr. Bauknight to talk about the potentials of the Upper Harbor Terminal development, his decision to resign and how the community can organize to take the UHT back from wealthy developers and the private real estate market.

We are taking a break from our regular content this week to offer listeners a special treat. In March of 2019 I had the honor of hosting a panel discussion with organizers of the legendary Minneapolis chapter of Anti-Racist Action (ARA). In the 1980's a multi-racial skin head crew in South Minneapolis named The Baldies took it upon themselves to shut down attempts by neo-nazis to organize in the Twin Cities Metal and Punk Scenes. The efforts of The Baldies grew into Anti-Racist Action; one of the first post WW2 Anti-Fascist formations in the United States that kept the streets of the Twin Cities safe from white supremacists and sparked chapters of ARA to pop up across the nation. This panel is full of front line history and battle won wisdom for Anti-Racists to build on today. Huge respect to our panelists and all Anti-Racist/Anti-Fascists across the globe fighting for peace and justice. We will return to the Upper Harbor Terminal next week with the final episode of season 1 of the Money Power Land Solidarity podcast.

Today's episode is an affirmation of our love for poor people, our desire for beautiful things in our lives and a recognition that capitalism drives a wedge between the two. Our critique of Gentrification is not a desire for things to remain the same but a call for a new economic and political order that will support working people to thrive. Socialism is about collective wealth, health and power. Capitalist real estate development like what is being proposed at the Upper Harbor Terminal is about profits for a small clique of wealthy landowners. Gentrification shuffles poverty around, our goal is to organize it out of existence.

As always huge shout out to Isaac Specktor for another beautifully produced episode.

Today we are continuing our look at housing and gentrification in Minneapolis to set the context for the Upper Harbor Terminal Development. We had the honor to sit down with the dynamic homegrown talent Dr. Brittany Lewis who serves as the Senior Research Associate for CURA (Center for Urban and Regional Affairs) at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Lewis talks with us about her groundbreaking research on gentrification and eviction in the Twin Cities, her liberationist approach to research, her evolution into the world of real estate development, mental health and more.

The prospect of building housing at the Upper Harbor Terminal development is one of the most stirring elements of the plan. Some want luxury market driven development and others want deep affordability for the neighborhood. The UHT gives us an opportunity to step back and reflect on how we build housing in this city and ask; what is the best way to produce and manage housing for the working classes? This primer contrasts the dominant market driven tax credit model of building "affordable" housing with a socialist approach to building high quality public housing. Spoiler alert, we are advocating the socialist approach. Shout out our producer Isaac Specktor for another fly sound scape.

We sat down in Powderhorn Park in South Minneapolis and reflected on his experience fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing Rock, the connection between urban and rural struggles for justice and how development projects like the Upper Harbor Terminal are taking place on stolen Dakota Land. This is a rich interview with a lot of first person history and wisdom forged on the front lines, big salute to Tufawon for sitting down with us, go check out his new single "Could it Be" on his Bandcamp
