'''Human Rights and Housing in the 21st Century''' 

''In 2016 and 2018 Pittsburgh residents came together to discuss ways to address our worsening affordable housing crisis. A basic premise of this effort is that '''we need to make housing a human right''' and shift away from policies that treat housing as a commodity reserved only for those who can pay market rates. We believe our society needs to find new ways to ensure that all residents have access to safe and affordable housing, and we are committed to working across our many differences to make Pittsburgh and our larger region a place that is most livable for everyone. The Pittsburgh Housing Summit is an ongoing process of movement-building for housing justice.''

'''Housing Summit Goals'''
# Promote wider understanding and discussion of housing as a human right and build a political constituency to support the human right to safe, decent, and affordable housing for all.
# Build and strengthen local and national housing justice movement
## Promote greater awareness and understanding of the causes and human impacts of the affordable housing crisis in the Pittsburgh region among all residents;
## Center the leadership and experiences of those most impacted by housing crisis;
## Raise consciousness about the connections between the affordable housing crisis in our region and national and global policies;
## Learn about how people in other parts of the city and country are addressing housing rights and build participation in local housing justice activism/ tenant unions;
# Build upon and expand work for a county-wide tenant’s organization to help residents know and defend their rights
## Provide resources and skills training: legal / know your rights; Housing, Organizing skills and strategies
## Mobilize allies and new constituencies (i.e., student renters)

 Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a 'most livable city.' But growing numbers of residents ask, 'livable for whom?' It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color. Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes. Globalized imperatives to promote markets and economic growth has exacerbated inequalities and divisions in cities around the world between elites and the people for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work. And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.

 Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a 'most livable city.' But growing numbers of residents ask, 'livable for whom?' It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color. Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes. Globalized imperatives to promote markets and economic growth has exacerbated inequalities and divisions in cities around the world between elites and the people for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work. And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.

*What does it mean for the people to actually rule? Formal democracy is an empty and cynical shell, allowing the nationalist Right claims to advance its anti-democratic project in the name of ‘the People’. How can human rights defenders respond in a way that is true to both radical egalitarianism and the desire to transform the real world? Gianpaolo Baiocchi draws from his work with social movements from Latin America, Southern Europe, and other parts of the world to examine how popular struggles are creating new forms of democratic participation aimed at making political parties and state institutions instruments of social emancipation. He argues that the ‘people’ must build on this explosive, creative energy to become truly ‘sovereign’ and to form a collective ‘we’ that is capable of deepening democracy and expanding its boundaries.
