📕This Sunday, 2/16 at 11am
At the Global Justice Center
225 E 26th St

Join TTU for discussion of the book
“Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End The Housing Crisis” by LA Tenants Union co-founders Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis .

At this meeting, we’ll cover Chapters 3-5. We’ll read some key excerpts, and then a conversation on the content. Hard copies are available for purchase online from Haymarket Books .

📈Rent drives millions into debt, despair, and onto the streets. The social cost of rent is too damn high. Written for anyone fed up with the permanent housing crisis, complicit politicians, and real estate greed, Abolish Rent dissects our housing system from the perspective of those it immiserates. Through brisk, unequivocating analysis and striking stories of resistance, it shows us how tenants can, through organizing and collective action, finally rebalance the scales.

Uniting against immigration raids and deportations of our community members!

Tenants are not alone in our struggles against our landlords - don’t let them divide us with fear, anger, or discouragement!

Don’t let the rich and their right-wing agenda convince you that the crises we face as tenants are because of immigrants in our community.
We reject the racist fear-mongering that would turn neighbor against neighbor - an attack on one of us is an attack on us all!

The tenants united will never be defeated!

📆Saturday, January 18th
⏰1pm-3pm
📍Global Justice Center 225 E. 26th St

Come to our general meeting!
Tenants ready to fight back against the ruling classes of rich capitalists and landlords, come together to strategize and support each other in organizing with our communities!

Which strategic paths forward can we take - as individuals, by associations, and by the union as a whole?
We build relationships as community defense, and will ground our meeting on how that relates to our tenant organizing efforts amidst rising crises and repression.

We also encourage members to attend the organizing preparation meeting which will be held at the same location, at 10am - for the January 20th “We Fight Back” demonstration that tenants union members will be taking part in.

Saturday, August 17th
9am - 2pm
El Pueblo Center, 101 W Irvington Rd, Bldg 9
Come learn with Sugarhill Community Land Trust (CLT), Pima County CLT, Tucson CLT, Barrios Unidos LT, and Regeneración.
Hosted by Regeneración & Southwest Folklife Alliance.

This month we will be observing our General Assembly and instead encouraging all members and interested tenants to attend this Symposium on community land trusts! Land trusts are an important legal strategy to understand in the tenant power movement.
However, there are many factors that affect whether tenant acquisition of land is a possibility - and there are other components to decommodification of land and housing that we should learn about and consider.
This is not to say that decommodification either can or should be the sole priority of legislative tactics to support tenant organizing.
The tenant movement’s strategies will shift with material changes. While we fight harassment, eviction, and displacement, tenant ownership feels financially out of reach for many of us - but this symposium will give us a chance to see living examples of others who have been able to take that struggle for our homes and our land in that direction.

Join us and be sure to register!
Registration is free and food can only be guaranteed to those who RSVP.
