Fife is a founding member of Moms 4 Housing, a group of families advocating for housing rights in Oakland and the Bay Area. In November 2019, two working and homeless mothers of Moms 4 Housing took over a vacant home on the 2900 block of Magnolia Street, remaining despite an eviction notice from Oaklandâs sheriff. â Photo: Carroll Fife Campaign
