ABOLISH RENT author, Tracy Rosenthal *Masks-Required Event

Join co-founder of the LA Tenants Union, Tracy Rosenthal, in conversation with organizers from DontEvictPDX and to celebrate the publication of the new book Abolish Rent. They'll discuss the resurgent tenant movement and how we can fight back, stay put, and take control of our homes. 

Rent drives millions into debt, despair, and onto the streets. The social cost of rent is too damn high. For anyone fed up with the permanent housing crisis, complicit politicians, and real estate greed, Abolish Rent dissects our housing system from the perspective of those it immiserates. Through unsparing analysis and striking stories of resistance, it shows us how tenants can, through organizing and collective action, harness our power and win the housing we deserve. 

Tracy Rosenthal is a cofounder of the L.A. Tenants Union, a frequent contributor to the New Republic, and the author, with Leonardo Vilchis, of Abolish Rent. They are now on rent strike in New York City.
