held at Bookhaus
on Wednesday 19th February. The event starts at 18:00.
As housing crises proliferate around the world, so does the fightback. A
new generation of tenants' unions are rising up to demand good,
affordable housing for all. From the streets of Los Angeles to the avenues
of Berlin, as well as up and down the UK, these unions are rewriting the
playbook on community empowerment and direct action.... and trying to
solve a housing crisis at the same time
In Renters Unite longtime organizer Jacob Stringer navigates the joys and
perils of a new and exciting form of political organising. Through vivid
storytelling and analysis, this book takes readers to the frontlines to expose
the brutality of criminal landlords and exploitative housing.
It’s time to say no to bad landlords and join the movement for housing
justice!
Jacob will be launching this book here at bookhaus. Tickets cost £6 and include a glass of wine or a soft drink.
