Self-contained 29-minute radio program, ready for broadcast
Within a five-block radius of TUC Radio's studios, a grassroots struggle is being waged to protect an area that has been home to the City's Latino community. We had here a host of non-profits and small businesses that serve that community, and a vibrant arts scene. Now we see, in our immediate neighborhood, daily evictions, new internet-business construction, and gentrification. We hear from community activists engaged in the struggle to save what had been our city from becoming the most expensive real estate on the planet.
