Whereas Marin DSA believes that safe and secure housing and shelter are basic human rights
Whereas Marin DSA is committed to housing and tenant struggles throughout Marin and has been since our local’s inception
Whereas the commodification of housing is at the root of the Bay Area’s and Marin’s housing crisis
Whereas our unhoused comrades lead the struggle for housing in Novato manifested in their work at Camp Ambition and Camp Compassion
Whereas the residents of Camp Ambition aim to take land out of the private housing market and put it under direct control of the people who live on it through the use of a community land trust
Whereas the residents of Camp Ambition have been harassed by the Novato police department, and had their tents and tires slashed by vigilantes
Let it therefore be resolved that Marin DSA stands in solidarity with our unhoused comrades, and will give all possible support to our neighbors living in Camp Ambition and Camp Compassion
