“An American Dream?” is the work of eight amazing women who met, learned, cried, laughed and worked together to produce powerful portraits of courage and resiliency. These photographs and narratives are organized around themes that the group found it important to address in their research: the living conditions that families are forced to endure, their impact on health and well-being, fear of eviction and ending up on the streets, the fires and displacement occurring in the Mission, resiliency and hope, and potential changes and solutions.

Picture 23 of 24
My dream and my hope is to have a stable home for my family and for all working families struggling to get ahead in San Francisco. I am requesting justice and fairness for all families and the whole community together. Let us pray that there will be no more displacement, that fires will be prevented, and that genuine housing for low-income families will be built. This is a landmark for the community of the Mission, because the fire displaced and traumatized many families more than a year ago and there are still no solutions. We want answers and action to rebuild this place. Mayor, yes we can!
