\n\t\t\t<em>Dispatches from the Threshold<\/em>\u00a0is an emergent archive of the burgeoning movement for housing justice in North America and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>
\n\t\t\t<p>Housing insecurity turned catastrophic during the COVID-19 pandemic, exposing the\u00a0cruelty of threadbare tenant protections and state hostility toward unhoused people made worse by mass unemployment, a public health crisis, and racist police violence. Since 2020, tenants have successfully fought back against evictions and encampment policing, pushed their governments to extend and fortify eviction moratoria, strengthened tenants\u2019 rights and protections for unhoused people, and thought beyond strategies that primarily appease landlords and lenders. At the same time, the urgent work of stemming immediate eviction, displacement, and surveillance has\u00a0sat in tension with long-haul movement work and cross-movement organizing.\u00a0<\/p>
\n\t\t\t<p>This book brings together\u00a0activists, scholars, and legal practitioners directly involved in tenant organizing to\u00a0contextualize and catalogue\u00a0the traction and tensions of the movement\u00a0across seventeen cities in five countries. Contributors connect housing justice to struggles against criminalization, surveillance, and policing, and\u00a0to debates\u00a0about social reproduction, precarity, organized labour, abolitionist praxis, and political strategy.\u00a0These dispatches are\u00a0as much a chronicle of organizing in a moment of crisis as an invitation to build solidarities across movements to ensure enduring justice for all.<\/p>
