The Connection

Resources from February Tenant Talk Live Now Available!

Mar 09, 2023

During this month’s “Tenant Talk Live” webinar, participants joined a discussion with organizers from the Millennia Resistance Campaign. Attendees learned about the campaign from panelists Foluke Nunn, Becky Scott, and Rachel Johnson, who shared the demands the campaign has made to HUD and explained how other tenants can get involved in the push for tenants’ rights. Participants also demonstrated solidarity with the panelists by sharing their personal experiences with landlords who do maintain safe living conditions. View the full webinar here. The next webinar will take place on April 3 at 6 pm ET. You can register for the session here.

As always, if you have a topic you would like to propose or want to be a speaker in an upcoming webinar, please e-mail Sid Betancourt at [email protected].
