‘’The US Human Rights Cities Alliance joins Pittsburgh and other cities join the International Alliance of Inhabitants’Zero Evictions Days (October 2020)-International solidarity to achieve dignity and security in housing.’’ Housing is Health Care! Why Housing Must Be Treated as a Human Right PUSHing The Human Right to Housing Together with the CMU Film Festival and other partners, we’re working to advance struggles for housing justice at this moment of acute crisis. Housing is increasingly unaffordable for people around the world and housing insecurity is rising. Join us in watching the documentary film, Push, which tells the story of how global banks and investment firms control residential housing around the world and push out low-income residents, turning our communities into sources of private profit. But the film tells another story too: residents are coming together to demand that housing be protected as a human right.
