As housing crises proliferate around the world, so does the fightback. A new generation of tenants' unions is rising to demand suitable, affordable housing. From the streets of Los Angeles to the avenues of Berlin, these unions are rewriting the playbook on community empowerment and direct action. In Renters Unite, longtime organizer Jacob Stringer navigates the joys and perils of a new and exciting form of political organizing. Through vivid storytelling and analysis, this book takes readers to the frontlines to expose the brutality of criminal landlords and exploitative housing. It's time to say no to bad landlords and join the movement for housing justice! Jacob Stringer is a housing researcher, campaigner, and a member of London Renters Union. His work has appeared in openDemocracy.
