This paper discusses the role that communication and media practices play for housing social movements, exploring the intersections between unjust communication landscapes and the struggles for housing justice. It is part of a wider research project, “Civic media for housing rights: lessons from struggles against evictions in São Paulo and Lagos”. These reflections draw on the experiences of housing social movements of these two cities to explore the ways in which communication practices expand grassroots capabilities to advance housing justice.
