SPECIAL SPEAKER AT THIS WEDNESDAY'S 
SOLIDARITY ECONOMY CLASS!

Wednesday 2/29 7 PM in Seminar Room 4 of Loyola University's Monroe Library

Van Temple, Executive Director of the Crescent City Community Land Trust, will speak on the topic of “Community Land Trusts." A Louisiana native, Van Temple was the long-time director of Delaware’s Diamond State Community Land Trust, the nation’s first statewide land trust. He will show the 38-minute video, “Homes & Hands: Community Land Trusts,” which presents the basics of CLT housing through firsthand stories of families and individuals from around the country. This will be followed by a slide show and presentation on the work of the newly-formed Crescent City CLT, and a discussion of the potential for CLT’s locally.

This event is co-sponsored by the OccupyNOLA Solidarity Economy Committee and the ZigZag Discussion Group at Loyola. For further information, please contact John Clark at clark@loyno.edu.
