About The Event

Listen to a former black panther and organizer of the 1963-65 rent strikes speak about this experience. We’ll hear a historical account of a real rent strike wave that happened and set the stage for further tenant struggles in New York City. Since we are now the midst of a new wave of tenant struggles, we’ll also hear about lessons learned from that time which could inform how we organize and demand a better life today.
