i think there's like two things here. One that's eviction defense sort of the way shanty was describing it as sort of just like a process intervention and one that's emergency direct actions or eviction blockades which are different from eviction defense. All of those tactics are incredible opportunities for people to feel a lot of power you really can get a landlord to give up basically. I also think that that stuff can be really really hard to scale if you don't have a really robust volunteer infrastructure. That's what really starts to lack in organizations that end up relying on service models to drive their organizing.
Featuring Shanti Singh, Tracy Rosenthal, René Moya, and Cea Weaver on the politics and practice of organizing tenants.
