Amy Collado is the Lead Organizer at the Bushwick Housing Independence Project (BHIP), where she helps tenants build collective power to fight displacement and defend their rights. A Brooklyn-born Afro-Dominican artist and advocate, she is also the founder of Butter Roll®, a skate brand and cultural initiative centering BIPOC joy and mutual aid. Amy’s filmmaking and archival work explores themes of housing, memory, and resistance in New York City, uplifting stories often left out of dominant narratives. Through this program, she hopes to deepen her strategy skills, connect with peers working on housing justice across cities, and bring home fresh ideas to strengthen tenant-led organizing in Bushwick.
