Description

This week Donna and Orlando sat down with Bernadette Atuahene of the Coalition for Property Tax Justice, to discuss their recent win, getting homes worth under $40,000 removed from the foreclosure list!

Founded in 2017, the Coalition for Property Tax Justice is a collective of several long-standing Detroit grassroots organizations formed to accomplish three goals:

1. Stop unconstitutional property tax assessments
2. Compensate Detroit residents who overpaid or have already lost their homes because of illegally inflated property taxes
3. Suspend pending property tax foreclosures until it is confirmed that the delinquent taxpayers were not unconstitutionally assessed

Bernadette Atuahene is a property law scholar focusing on land stolen from people in the African Diaspora. She is the daughter of Ghanaian immigrants who grew up in Los Angeles and attended UCLA for college. She then earned her JD from Yale and her MPA from Harvard.
