Tenant Empowerment
Fight to preserve affordable housing for moderate- and low-income DC residents. Come to a forum and learn how you can lobby the City Council to pass Councilmember Phil Mendelson's housing bill that would close the 95-5 loophole in the tenants' right-to-purchase legislation. Since May 2000, use of this loophole has resulted in the sale of more than 125 buildings in which the residents were not given the right to purchase.
Join the Coalition for Housing Justice, in conjunction with the All Souls Unitarian Church Housing Task Force, at a tenant empowerment and homeownership forum on Sunday, March 28, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., at the All Souls Church (16th and Harvard Streets NW). The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 202/667-6622 or send an e-mail.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
