Report on recent Renters' Assemblies in Portland, and about ones to come.
Joe Clement reports back on his attendance at the First Portland Renters Assembly(1), noting the interest among renters to both legally constrain landlord powers and challenge the political realities of housing under capitalism. His piece opens recalling Frann Michel's Well-read Red from March 9th about the contradictions of affordable housing.(2) He then reads from the SE Uplift Neighborhood Coalition's March Newsletter(3), which offers its own description of the Renters Assemblies, and then shares his own perspective. Finally, the dates, times and locations of the next assemblies are discussed. They will be held at the downtown Central Library on April 21st from 5:30-7:45 PM and the North Portland Library on April 26th from 1:00-3:00PM. Check into the Renters Assembly website(4) for more updates.
