Boston DSA wants YOU (yes you) to become a tenant organizer! Over the past 20 months our Housing Working Group has expanded the scope of its activities from broad canvassing and mobilizing to organizing with tenants unions in several building complexes. Organizing like this takes a lot of time and energy, and we need a larger team to keep our momentum and to expand out from the buildings we're currently organizing in. The purpose of this training is to impart what we've learned about tenant organizing and get you out there doing the work as quickly as possible. We will also spend some time talking about strategy for the buildings in which we are organising.

If you need any accessibility accommodations at the meeting, please reach out to Evan (evanrlemire@gmail.com). You may also fill out the accessibility request form at http://bit.ly/bdsaaccess or email accessibility@bostondsa.org to reach the Boston DSA accessibility team.
