6th Annual Housing Justice for All Convention
Start: Friday, December 08, 2023• 5:00 PM
End: Sunday, December 10, 2023• 2:30 PM
Join us at the 6th annual Housing Justice for All (HJ4A) Convention: a statewide convening of coalition organizations and individuals invested in housing justice.
From December 8th-10th tenants and homeless New Yorkers from across the state will be coming together to dream up a new vision for New York: one where no one has to fear rent hikes or evictions, where every New Yorker has a safe stable home. To get there, we'll be learning from each other, building a shared strategy, and strengthening our relationships.
This is a great opportunity to get involved and participate in workshops, teach-ins and plenaries from housing organizers to build skills, gain perspectives and new understanding so we can strengthen our movement and sharpen our skills as we build our strategy for the year ahead.
We welcome all who are interested and committed to fighting for housing justice to join!
