About

Resist & Build: The Fight for Community Control is a Boston-area campaign to realize and build economic democracy in the region.

Our campaign weaves together “resist and build” stories in various realms – housing stability and affordability, budget justice organizing, worker’s rights, and more – under the same collective future we aim to create beyond capitalism. We inspire communities to reclaim control of the vital resources we all need.

Learn more about the Resist and Build pledge to see how you can get involved in upcoming fights for community control in your area.
