1st Portland Renters’ Assembly

WHEN: Tue., Feb. 24 ~ Thu., Feb. 26
WHERE: HQHQ Project Space, 232 SE Oak St. #108

The Portland Renters’ Assembly is a gathering of people united by the burden of rent. The housing struggle in Portland, much like activism of our time at large, often operates in a state of emergency. There is a need to stand behind those facing foreclosure, eviction, renoviction, homelessness, and rents rising well beyond livability. It is time for these concerns to stand in solidarity with the basic injustice underlying the concept of ‘rent’ itself. Come and share your experience as a renter or with rent-related issues, learn about the history of rent and tenant struggles, and share resources for moving forward together.

Introduction and General Assembly (come share your stories!)

Day 3: 7pm. February 26th, 2015.
