![What is Gentrification?
Our social feeds and organising spaces are often filled with activist terminology - but without deconstructing these concepts and recognising the grassroots movements where they originated, many of us can be left behind. Our Knowledge Pages aim to break down and decolonise these concepts and topics in an accessible way, show how they link to wider global movements and give guidelines on how you can take action.
In our latest Knowledge Page, climate justice campaigner, writer and educator @simmoneahiaku explains gentrification is (in a London specific context), why it is a tenet of white supremacy, a product of Thatcherism and a climate justice issue, plus ways to resist and resources to find out more.
Simmone writes: “The use of surveillance and policing in gentrification not only ensures capital interest and private property is protected, but those who are deemed ‘risky’ towards these interests are heavily policed until there is an opportunity to disappear them completely, whether that’s through the prison system or through displacement in housing.”
