Synopsis: We were talking tenants rights on this week’s Indypendent News Hour. In our first segment, co-hosts John Tarleton and Amba Guerguerian spoke with journalist Steven Wishnia and Alina Shen, organizing director of CAAAV Voice, a group that fights against gentrification in working class Asian communities, about the history of rent control and why a rent freeze is needed now. In our second segment, we spoke with two organizers from NYC-DSA’s Independent Working Class Organizing Initiative which is organizing tenants to directly resist the landlord class. IWCO will be holding a citywide tenant assembly this Sunday 1-6 pm at the Sixth Street Community Center.
