*[image description: on the left three adults and a young boy stand staring
at the camera and hold up a long banner that reads “join the fight for
renters rights”. They are marching in protest. On the right of the image is
a block of white text against a black background that reads “Join the fight
for housing justice! Tenant’s rights counselor training May 31st and June
1st 5:30-8:00 pm 2016”]*
Tenants Together, California's Statewide Organization for Renters' Rights
(based in San Francisco), seeks volunteers to become tenants’ rights
counselors. Tenants Together volunteers have worked alongside over ten
thousand California renters as they learn and fight for their rights.
Counselors help tenants fight against evictions, rent increases,
uninhabitable living conditions and the wholesale displacement of their
communities.
*Counselors are key in the fight against gentrification and displacement. *As
a Tenant Hotline Counselor you will play a key role in empowering tenants
to assert their rights and protect their homes and families. Recently
counselors have been educating tenants in cities like Alameda, Hayward,
Richmond and Concord that are being massively affected by the affordable
housing crisis in SF and the Bay Area to make sure tenants don’t pack up
and leave when they get a rent increase. As we have seen in SF and Oakland,
the appalling impacts of displacement always more intensely affect people
of color, low income communities, disabled and elderly folks, and immigrant
communities. Counselors have the opportunity to work directly with those
who are most affected by the housing crisis, not only to bring them vital
information, but to catalyze them to organize, and to support them in this
struggle for their rights.
*The next scheduled training, over two days, is: *
*Monday, May 24th 5:30-8pm *
*Tuesday, May 25th 5:30-8pm *
BOTH DAYS are required to complete the counseling training. You will learn
invaluable skills to help your community and become part of a team fighting
for housing justice.
Volunteers are expected to commit to at least 3 hours per week at the
Tenants Together office located at 474 Valencia St, San Francisco. The
Hotline operates Monday through Friday, 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and
Thursdays 6:00-8:00 pm (we can also consider alternative time
slots/duration during the week, please contact Sara to discuss)
We aim to help build an anti-racist, feminist, multiracial, anti-oppressive
tenant movement. This means we do not tolerate racism, homophobia, ableism,
transphobia, islamophobia, classism, cis-sexism, or sexism. We also hope to
continue working to make this event, and our office, as accessible as
possible to everyone who is interested in being part of the fight for
housing justice.
*Accessibility:* The building/ office is wheelchair accessible and is 2
city blocks from 16th and Mission BART . We will be taking regular breaks
throughout the training. We have a gender inclusive bathroom. Unfortunately
we are not currently a scent-free working space. If you have any
accessibility concerns, requests or comments please email
sara(a)tenantstogether.org
