The Reclamation Assembly
The Reclamation Assembly is a housing rights organization of approximately 10,000 members that fights against corporate displacement of lower-tier residents — the practice of 'revitalizing' (demolishing) Shelf and Circuit neighborhoods to build higher-tier commercial and residential developments. In a city where the corponations own the ground and lease it to residents on terms that can be changed at quarterly review, the Assembly argues that long-term residence creates a moral (if not legal) claim to the space you've made your home.
The Assembly's tactics include legal challenges to displacement orders, organized resistance to demolition (members physically occupy buildings scheduled for demolition, daring corporate security to evict them on camera), community land trusts (pooling resources to lease land collectively, making displacement more expensive for the corponations), and mutual aid for displaced families. They win some fights and lose most, but their visibility makes displacement politically costly enough that some corponations choose to develop elsewhere rather than face the public relations consequences.
The Assembly is popular in the Shelf and Circuit, where displacement anxiety is constant and the Assembly's willingness to physically stand in front of a demolition crew gives tangible form to resistance that most people only feel as helplessness.

| name | The Reclamation Assembly |
| aliases |
|
| motto | This ground was ours before it was theirs. It will be ours again. |
| ideology | Home is a right, not a privilege. People who have built lives in a place — who have raised children, buried parents, built community — have a claim to that place that supersedes corporate property rights. The Assembly's politics are rooted in the oldest human conviction: this is our home, and you can't take it. |
| territory | Active in every Shelf and Circuit neighborhood facing displacement. The Assembly's headquarters is a community center in the Shelf that has itself been the subject of three displacement attempts. |
| leadership | Organizer-in-Chief Abigail Nakamura-Okonkwo, a Shelf resident who became an activist when her own building was condemned for 'structural remediation' (demolition for a corporate parking facility). She stopped the demolition. She's been stopping them ever since. |

| narrative function | The Assembly represents the most basic political claim: the right to stay where you are. In a city built on displacement, this is radical. |
