Three years ago, a group of working unhoused mothers calling themselves Moms 4 Housing moved into a vacant, corporate-owned home in West Oakland and sparked a movement to unearth the true causes of our homelessness crisis. The award-winning NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit followed the mothers as they went from unhoused to activists and took matters into their own hands. "The Moms of Magnolia Street" documentary explores Oakland’s activist roots and controversial housing policies, focusing on the Moms’ fight against rising homelessness, inequality, and corporate housing speculation. Join the journalists and filmmakers responsible for this moving series for a discussion and screening of "The Moms of Magnolia Street" on Thursday, October 20th. Showtime starts at 7:00 PM with the New Parkway bar and kitchen available for food and drinks. The screening will feature a live Q&A with creators of the series, Investigative Producer Michael Bott, Digital Producer Sean Myers, Digital Video Specialist Evita Isleta, and Chief Photographer Mark Villareal.
