Fifth Street Women's Building Takeover
The Fifth Street Women's Building Takeover was a feminist protest action in New York City that lasted from January 1 to January 13, 1971. June Arnold, Reeni Goldin, Marizel Rios, and other feminists in the women's liberation movement organized the takeover in late 1970 after the city rebuffed their proposal to establish a women's center in an abandoned city building. Frustrated by the lack of affordable housing and social services for women, over 100 women from a coalition of 40 feminist groups occupied 330 East Fifth Street shortly after midnight on January 1, 1971.
