To cap off our tenant organizing series with Asheville Democratic Socialists of America, we're hosting Abolish Rent coauthor Tracy Rosenthal for a hybrid conversation! Join in-person at our co-op or register below to participate online.

Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End the Housing Crisis is a deeply reported account of the resurgent tenant movement centering poor and working-class people who are fighting back, staying put, and remaking the city in the process. The authors take us to trilingual strategy meetings, raucous marches against gentrification, and daring eviction defenses where immigrants put their lives on the line. These are the seeds of the revolutionary movement we need to make our housing, our cities, and the world our home.

This event is open to all, whether or not you've attended prior discussions in the series.
