Housing instability, crime, and displacement aren’t random happenings, but systemic issues that are enforced by white supremacy and capitalism. Living in a Black neighborhood that is being slowly gentrified, I am well aware of the profound grief and fear of knowing that you may be displaced from the place you call home.
