Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End The Housing Crisis

Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis, co-founders of the LA Tenants Union, join Breht to discuss their organizing and their new book "Abolish Rent". Together, they discuss the housing crisis, the role played by private equity, developers, politicians, and landlords, the history and experiences of LA Tenants Union, the importance of political education, how the housing struggle is tied to land struggles, how the housing crisis is inexorably tied to the broader crisis of capitalism and connected to almost every other issue we care about, the forms and strategies of fighting back (rent strikes, eviction defenses, etc.), the socialist struggle and the communist vision, advice for other organizers, and so much more!
