Tenant Right to Counsel Convening

In this strategy session, you'll hear from and work with tenant leaders and organizers from jurisdictions that have passed a tenant right to counsel. We’ll explore successful tenant RTC campaign building strategies, specifically for tenant organizers, tenant leaders, and people impacted by eviction. We’ll also cover specific challenges organizers and leaders face advancing tenant RTC. We’ll have opportunities to examine existing campaign plans from various jurisdictions where RTC has been enacted and implemented.

In this strategy session, we’ll workshop the type of community organizing infrastructure necessary to implement RTC effectively, sustainably, and justly. The conversation will focus on the critical role of grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, and ongoing community engagement in ensuring that tenants are aware of their right to counsel and can fully access and benefit from it. While the passage of RTC laws represents a monumental victory, the fight for tenants' rights does not end there.
