There’s an abundance of housing; let’s organize to take it over

The Poor People’s Army, formerly the Poor People’s Economic and Human Rights Campaign, has been leading efforts across the country to place individuals and families who need them into federally-owned housing for a long time. Their position is that housing is a human right and that people in need should not be forced to wait for shelter. They recently published “Takeover: A Human Rights Approach to Housing” on Poor People’s Press, a step-by-step guide to occupying empty houses. Clearing the FOG speaks with Cheri Honkala, the lead author, and Galen Tyler, a lead organizer with the Poor People’s Army, about the current housing crisis and how people can use the new book to end the crisis of homelessness.

Anti-Government Protests In Mexico Exposed As Destabilization Plot – Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese

A right-wing, billionaire-backed and violent demonstration was held in Mexico City on November 15 against President Claudia Sheinbaum. Corporate media in the United States portrayed the protests as Gen Z taking a stand against corruption, but the march had all the makings of a US-backed destabilization effort. Clearing the FOG speaks with Jose Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth, co-hosts of the public TV program Sin Muros and the podcast Soberania, about the protests, who is behind them, the achievements of the Fourth Transformation and the risks of US aggression in the region.
