Organizing Tenants: Lessons from the Field

Zafiro Patino, Frances Amador, Cheryl Looney, Eric Kobesak, and René Christian Moya speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by Solidarity. https://solidarity-us.org In this workshop, City Life/Vida Urbana, KC Tenants and Los Angeles Tenants Union will provide hands-on experiences about what it takes to build tenant power. We will focus on two questions: First, how do tenant organizers form the deep relationships that sustain activism over the long haul? Second, how do we organize with poor and working class folks across the many divisions that keep working-class communities apart and undermine our power.
