What is gentrification and how does it work? This week on Women on the Line we bring you a snapshot of activism around gentrification, racism and police violence from Brooklyn, New York City. On August 13 community group Equality for Flatbush held a march against Gentrification, Racism and Police Violence in Flatbush and East Flatbush. Flatbush is a neighbourhood in the heart of Brooklyn, and Women on the Line went along to speak to residents about what’s happening in their communities.
