Tulie Reddick

Tulie will create a film to bring attention to the injustice happening in her community where nine blocks of homes are slated for demolition, including her own house. This same type of displacement is happening in South Philly, West Philly, North Philly and Brewerytown where developers, city and state officials, are taking homes owned by senior, low-income and working-poor people using the law of eminent domain to gentrify these neighborhoods, pushing out longtime residents in efforts to lure higher-income residents from the suburbs. Through her documentary filmmaking, Tulie will tell the stories of her community, highlighting the racism and classism that enables officials and developers to so easily displace residents. Most importantly, this video provides a first-hand look at gentrification from a resident living through the process and working alongside her neighbors and allies to fight the taking of their neighborhood.
