East Bay DSA Socialist Night School: Housing Justice

ll are welcome to join East Bay DSA’s ongoing Socialist Night School for this special evening on housing politics, in connection with our chapter’s campaign to repeal Costa-Hawkins and win universal rent control & social housing in California.

READINGS HERE: https://www.eastbaydsa.org/resources-readings-socialist-school-2018-summer-session-1

Aside from a short opening lecture, the bulk of class time will be spent in small group discussions where we’ll talk the housing crisis in the East Bay from a socialist perspective, the goal of social housing, and how fighting for Costa-Hawkins can help us unite a mass working-class tenant movement able to systemically kick landlord butt.

All participants are asked to read the readings before class. East Bay DSA members and non-members of any experience/knowledge level on housing politics are all warmly invited.

>>ABOUT SOCIALIST NIGHT SCHOOL<<
Socialist Night School is a rolling open course that provides opportunities for East Bay DSA members to ground their political work in the rich theoretical and historical traditions of the socialist left.

Classes are down-to-earth, inclusive spaces that give East Bay comrades a chance to grow their politics together, regardless of background knowledge or affiliation. You don’t have to have been to a night school before and you don’t have to RSVP to join us! You don’t even have to be a member of East Bay DSA — everyone is welcome.

>>ABOUT EAST BAY DSA’S SOCIAL HOUSING CAMPAIGN<<
Join your neighbors in the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America as we organize to win the Affordable Housing Act, universal rent control, and beautiful social housing for everyone.

Our homes should be homes, not investments for Wall Street and corporate landlords. By organizing our neighbors, standing up to prevent evictions, and winning elections, we are building a mass movement for a housing system that puts people over profit.
