This talk explores the ways in which Detroit Eviction Defense (DED) and other activist organizations employ a logic of care to argue for Black Detroiters\u2019 right to home in the city. Quizar examines the ways in which DED successfully resists eviction through direct action and with the argument that legitimate claims to land and home should be based on how one cares for it\u2014in terms of stewardship, relationships, and based on how one uses it. She argues that Detroiters\u2019 land claims through a logic of care has emerged as a response to the particular conditions of racial capitalism in Detroit, rooted in Black feminist practices of care and the collectivism of the Black radical tradition. Ultimately, DED and other Detroiters offer care as framework through which to resist displacement and establish alternate place-claiming logics in the context of urban housing crisis, austerity, and financialization.<\/p>\n

\"\"Dr. Jessi Quizar (Assistant Professor, UW Tacoma) is a scholar of racial capitalism, grassroots planning, and urban land and resource struggles in the U.S. Her work centers on the organizing and theorizing of Black and Indigenous communities to shape cities. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
