The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project

The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project is a data visualization, counter-cartography, and digital media collective documenting dispossession and crafting tools for resistance upon gentrifying landscapes. Rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and New York City, the AEMP produces maps, zines, narratives, software, murals, reports, scholarship, and community events, often working with an array of collaborators and partners. This talk will focus on the AEMP’s new print atlas Counterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement and Resistance, available for purchase from PM Press, and on Evictorbook, an online lookup tool that collates data on corporate landlord structures, property ownership, eviction histories, and LLC/LP filings into a searchable interface to empower tenant organizing.
