Season 6 Episode 4: “More Questions, Any Answers?”
Dec. 2 @ 7:00 PM
Do you have questions about housing? Unlawful detainers? Tenants’ rights? Where’s the rent party? Or what to do with all these vacant properties? Whose got some answers? Hosted by Corey Walton, including zAmya troupe members, and friends at Dorothy Day.
This episode is sponsored by United Renters For Justice / Inquilinxs Unidxs por Justicia, which works for permanently affordable democratic housing and structural changes: tenant unions, rent stabilization, stronger enforcement of renter protections, and cooperatively owned housing.
