NLIHC will host “Tenant Talk Live” – a webinar with and for renter and resident leaders – next Monday, April 4, at 6 pm ET (5 pm CT, 4 pm MT, and 3 pm PT). During the session, we will hear from advocates about how to build successful coalitions in local communities. Register for the upcoming Tenant Talk Live webinar at: https://bit.ly/361rmy2
Coalitions can accomplish extraordinary goals. At the national level, coalitions like NLIHC have succeeded in expanding the nation’s supply of affordable housing for the lowest-income people. But local coalitions can also bring about major changes in particular communities, as shown by the success of local coalitions across the U.S., including many of NLIHC’s state partners. The upcoming Tenant Talk Live will highlight the outstanding coalition-building work of two coalitions: the Washington State Housing Justice Coalition and the Just Cities Institute.
In the webinar, NLIHC staff will be joined by emergency rental assistance advocate Duaa-Rahemaah Williams, state organizer for Resident Action Project (RAP) and Washington Low Income Housing Alliance (WLIHA); Margaretta Wan-Ling Lin, executive director for Just Cities; and Kelly Olson, policy manager for Civil Survival. We hope you will also join us as we learn more about bringing people together through coalitions that center social and racial justice.
And remember: Tenant Talk Live would not be possible without tenants like you! We strive to connect and engage with tenants and tenant leaders through our webinars. If you are a low-income tenant and have a topic you would like to propose for an upcoming Tenant Talk Live, or if you would like to participate as a speaker on an upcoming call or webinar, please email Sidney Betancourt at: [email protected]
