Community power is something you can feel. It’s active, gladdens the heart, and results in outcomes that sometimes feel like miracles (even if you know there was no shortage of hard work and strategy involved!). I believe that Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are at their best when they serve as a platform for collaborative, community-based efforts, which build the power and influence of those with the least access to opportunity, and advance the inalienable right of self-determination. Residents of the Bo-Linda Vista Community — who are organizing with Bolinas CLT (BCLT) to avoid displacement, counteract historic discrimination, and develop permanent affordable housing on the Ranch where they lived unhoused in an encampment for too many years — are just one shining example of what an empowered community on the rise looks like! It was an honor and a privilege to accept the invitation of these courageous and compassionate leaders — my neighbors, friends, and co-conspirators in the pursuit of housing equity and justice — to celebrate some exciting recent milestones with them at their current home. A temporary RV campground that they named Bo-Linda Vista. It was a truly beautiful celebration hosted by some truly beautiful souls!
