Tenant Rights Movement in Houston
About this episode
The episode discusses the tenant rights movement in Houston and the concept of housing as a human right.
When folks think about public safety, they tend to think about cops. Instead of seeing cops as a means of safety, what else can keep us safe? Housing as a human right is one of the many ways we can reimagine safety in our communities. Dominica and Diana from Houston Tenants Union (HTU) join me to talk about how housing is a human right and provide tips on how to read your lease. HTU's meetings are weekly with a potluck, childcare, and an option to join online.
