She will also provide insight into the Coalition’s approach to organizing and creating tenant unions.

Joining June’s “Tenant Talk Live” is Isabel “Bel” Galvan. Bel is the Lead Tenant and Housing Justice Organizer for the Coalition For Tenant Justice in San Antonio, Texas. She also serves as the Head of Research and Communications for the Coalition For Dignified Housing. She works to support poor and working-class communities through housing justice, dignified living, education, public comment, advocacy, and grassroots organizing. She actively participates in relevant city committees and works closely with Section 8, public housing, and naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) tenants, helping residents develop the tools to advocate for themselves and their communities. As a Section 8 tenant herself, she draws from both lived and professional experience in advancing tenant rights, equity, and stronger community connections.
