Empower DC
Empower DC is a citywide, multi-issue, membership-based community organizing group working alongside public housing residents at Greenleaf Gardens, James Creek, Park Morton, and Barry Farm. It co-hosts forums with SWNA on preserving public housing in Southwest DC and documents the third displacement on the same ground the RLA clearance first struck in the 1950s.

Empower DC organizes at Greenleaf Gardens in Southwest and at Barry Farm, Park Morton, and Northwest One, connecting the 1950s RLA clearance to the present-day public housing redevelopment pressure that threatens a third wave of displacement on the same ground.
