LaborFest: The Housing Crisis and the Workingclass

The litmus test issue in San Francisco politics is rent control as that is the only way the workingclass can afford anything in San Francisco. However, without vacancy control, rent control is limited. The housing crisis is a federal funding priority issue (we must have butter instead of guns) that directly affects the entire workingclass, including the homeless, and the need for labor union involvement to demand affordable rental housing for the workingclass is urgent and mandatory. This event is a panel discussion with labor and housing rights activists on the housing crisis, one of the most pressing issues for workers in the Bay Area and beyond, and how unions and other organizations play a part in this battle.
