Housing is a Human Right
Join us tomorrow in honoring the legacy of Dr. King!
Who we are
The Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaign (CAEC, the Campaign) is a member-led human rights organization whose mission is to enforce housing as a fundamental right. We work towards this goal through community organizing, direct action, popular education, leadership development, and public policy advocacy that empowers those directly impacted by displacement and homelessness to de-commodify housing and affirm it as a human right. The Campaign partners with a multitude of other community organizations, private sector organizations and businesses, institutional, and government organizations. Decisions are made collectively by the team, which is made up of people from the community, for the best interest of the community.
From Housing Takeovers and Land Liberation
To Community Controlled Development and Community Land Trusts
