Hundreds of Families Occupy Land in Osasco

Early in the morning of July 27, more than 400 families, some coming from Greater Sao Paulo, occupied a large area of land in the region of Osasco. The fifty hectare (0.5 square km) is in a wealthy area, adjacent to a golf course and luxury condominiums. The space was formerly an informal dump for garbage and abandoned automobiles. Police arrived shortly later attempting to restrain the action, but were blockaded at the two access points to the land.

The MTST (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Teto - Movement of Workers Without Living Spaces), MLP (Movimento de Luta Popular - Movement for a Popular Struggle, and Resistencia Popular helped organize the community. The space is being organized collectively through commissions and relies upon the solidarity of the neighborhood. Approximately 80 inhabitants of the MST Anita Garibaldi camp in the region of Guarulhos helped support the Osasco action. New families continue to arrive at the site, and by July 28, more than 600 families were living there.
