Description
'Eye-opening, practical, and revolutionary' - Danny Dorling, author of Peak Injustice As housing crises proliferate around the world, so does the fightback. A new generation of tenant unions are rising up to demand good, affordable housing for all. From the streets of Los Angeles to the avenues of Berlin, these unions are rewriting the playbook on community empowerment and direct action. In Renters Unite, longtime organiser Jacob Stringer navigates the joys and perils of a new and exciting form of political organising. Through vivid storytelling and analysis, this book takes readers to the frontlines to expose the brutality of criminal landlords and exploitative housing. It’s time to join the movement for housing justice!
