The Tent Cities Toolkit Grassroots Primer version is an interactive DVD organizing tool focused on issues of homelessness and the role of grassroots, democratic tent cities as a necessary step to resolving homelessness. The Toolkit aims to raise awareness of the nationwide lack of housing and criminalization of the poor, and to provide a practical set of resources for creating a tent city or alternative housing in communities nationwide.
The Tent Cities Toolkit DVD and its companion website (www.tentcitiestoolkit.org) are intended to mobilize grassroots tent city advocacy efforts, connecting housed and unhoused activists worldwide into a cohesive political force for effective social change.
Through informative video clips and computer-based resources, the Tent Cities Toolkit offers practical hands-on information on the creation of tent city communities. Developed through a unique collaborative partnership between Dignity Village and Kwamba Productions, the Toolkit uses the visionary example of Dignity Village in Portland, Oregon as a case study.
Half of the proceeds from sales of this non-profit project go to Dignity Village, Inc, and half to a fund for updating the Toolkit content.
