Land Action Fundraisers Featuring Hannah Dobbz, Author of "Nine-Tenths of the Law"

Recently I received a call from my long time friend, Hannah Dobbz, who has just released her book Nine-Tenths of the Law; Property and Resistance in the United States. She told me that she was coming out to the west coast to visit. The conversation that initially began as her looking for a place to crash soon turned into us collaborating on a mini west coast book tour to promote her new book and build support for Land Action.

There are three upcoming events. On April 16, 2013 we are having an event in Los Angeles, CA (https://www.facebook.com/events/229462673858994/) and on April 19 and 20 we are having events in Oakland, CA (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/349165, https://www.facebook.com/events/590211584323356/)

These events are fundraisers for Land Action. Hannah Dobbz will be speaking about her new book (http://propertyandresistance.wordpress.com/), and I will be giving a presentation about Land Action (http://land-action.org)

To give some background Land Action is a California non-profit that assists environmental and social justice organizers establish, maintain, and defend land occupations to be used for housing and projects.
