“We Are Tenants, Let’s Organize Like It” Resolution

The 2022 DSA-LA convention is a little over a week away and your Housing and Homelessness Committee has an exciting resolution focused on tenant union organizing and Street Watch. With the recent launch of the Emergency Tenant Organizing Committee (ETOC) project through the national DSA Housing Justice Commission (HJC), DSA-LA has a terrific opportunity to plug in and train/coordinate local members in unionizing with their neighbors where they live! Our fight for tenant power and against the criminalization of poverty and homelessness requires us to organize as tenants. Join our Q&A event to learn more about this resolution and what it would mean for tenant organizing to become a chapter priority.
