Strength in Numbers at Citywide Tenants Convention, 2/8

 housing.jpg

In the past months, local tenant conventions in the Mission, Chinatown, Richmond/Haight, Castro, and SOMA/Tenderloin have brought together thousands of neighbors. Now is our chance to rally together, join a citywide conversation and solidify proposals that will seek to stem the tide of displacement, speculation, and Ellis Act evictions. Now is the time for change in the name of our City’s tenants!

Join tenants, activists, and members of the Harvey Milk Club this Saturday, February 8 at Tenderloin Elementary School from 12-4pm.  The convention is being organized by the San Francisco Anti-Displacement Coalition and sponsored by many organizations, including the Harvey Milk Club.

For more information about Saturday’s Citywide Tenants Convention, click here. Do what you can… Show up. Share on social media. Want to know more about the Ellis Act and what’s going on in San Francisco? Start here.
