Join us for a training on how to host tenant circles in your neighborhood.
We'll be joined by members of our Bed-Stuy organizing project. After DSA endorsed candidate Eon Huntley narrowly lost 2 years ago, we worked with some of Eon's field leads and other DSA members to start a tenant organizing project in Bed-Stuy to help build our base in the neighborhood. They've been growing themselves as organizers by canvassing buildings, and hosting monthly tenant circles in a local library. 2 years later, they're prepared to continue organizing with a newly elected ally in the State Assembly, Eon Huntley.
This is a special edition tenant circle!
Open to all and especially to tenants who are interested in or eager to build tenant power in their neighborhood. Tenant organizing serves as a powerful tool for the working class to unite in solidarity and fight against exploitation. Our monthly tenant circles create space to discuss organizing wins, challenges, ask questions, and brainstorm ideas with fellow tenants and organizers. Please note that this is not a legal clinic, so we do not provide legal advice. We can, however, try our best to provide organizing solutions to various challenges we face as comrades and neighbors.
If you have any questions that you’d like to ask before the tenant circle, please email us at tenants@socialists.nyc, and we will try to work them into the meeting agenda and provide you with resources. We also have a Whatsapp community you can join where we discuss building issues, organizing questions, and all things happening in the NYC tenant movement. Join us!
