Privately Policing Public Space
St. James Park
From: Fight to Win
$3.30
This chapter describes the brief successful campaign by OCAP against the private securitization and displacement of homeless people. The campaign challenged the moral and legal claims of the local Business Improvement Association and made its illegal actions public. These actions are interlocked with the relations of gentrification, colonialism, white supremacy, and global capitalism.
