Eugene Rent Strike

More opportunities to learn about canvassing, then walk around a neighborhood and practice what you've learned about talking with neighbors about housing issues. No experience needed! 8/3 @ 12:30pm 8/6 @ 4pm 8/8 @ 1pm 832 Almaden St Together we will end #HouseHoarding!

Fascinating research showing that as tenant organizing increases evictions decrease. Tenant organizing works.

Mark your calendars: This Tuesday at 9 PM EST/6 PM PT, @ahouse4all @matrixgoth and I are hosting a Twitter space to talk all the things we’re seeing on the ground as housing advocates. We’ll talk housing in NY, L.A., Iowa + elsewhere so come thru! twitter.com/i/spaces/1yoJM…

Come learn how to talk to your neighbors about housing issues! Open to all levels of comfort & experience! Followed by canvassing the neighborhood in support of the Almaden Eviction Defense. 832 Almaden St, Sunday 7/23 at 12:30pm Facilitated by #Eugene HAND. 1/2

Eviction Defense day 20: We are still here and we will not back down. We will not leave. We will not pay rent. Stand by for outreach and event announcements to get plugged into this fight!

Eviction Defense day 13: Evictions are the result of a system which secures private property over the welfare of working people. Evictions are a threat hanging over the heads of the people and we can’t allow them to stand! END ALL EVICTIONS! ✊

The state will always enforce a landlords right to private property over a tenant or a neighborhoods right to a home and community. If we want these things we have to stand up and take them ourselves. Dare to struggle dare to win!

There is no record of EPD ever responding to an eviction like this in the past. Instead of listening to the community and the neighborhood about what they would like to see for Candice and her family they brought tear gas and sonic canons.

More info on the eviction attempt that happened on Wednesday. The sheriffs who Sharon (the absentee landlord) paid to come evict Candice came and brought the police depart in full riot gear for one person on stoop watch. There were 15 EPD officers in riot gear and 5 sheriffs…

Eviction Defense Day 12: We are still holding the space! We are guessing the cops will come back to reevict us at some point but we hold firm to the principle that one home is enough and this is Candice’s home

Dozens of protestors turned out in solidarity with a woman being evicted from a home in Eugene this morning. Protestors chanted anti-police and anti-landlord slogans, and many said situations like this would happen more often as the economy gets worse. kezi.com/news/protestor…

Eviction defense day 9: Pigs on scene. We stand together against a system that wants to throw us on the street ✊

If you are in Eugene/Springfield and are interested in joined a prolonged fight for housing hit up the HAND monthly mass meeting! HAND is supporting Candice’s fight for her home and hopes to continue the fight for all the neighborhoods of Eugene and Springfield ✊🏡

Eviction Defense Day 8 Come join us on Thursday for this reading group at the barricade 📕📚📖

Conflating high rent with a “lack of housing stock” is a right wing talking point. Housing does not trickle down, it’s a hoarded asset.

Fixed it for you, sweetheart
