Latino USA Folgen

This week, Latino USA brings you the first episode of The Tenant Association, produced by Los Angeles Public Press. The series follows a group of tenants who came together and fought back against their landlord. It’s a story about neighbors—elderly, young, immigrant, working class renters. Many of them are Latine and Asian and had lived for decades in an apartment complex in LA’s Chinatown. Until they got a rent increase that was basically an eviction notice… and decided to fight to stay in their homes. They’ve become a political force to be reckoned with, and changed what we think is possible for renters in Los Angeles. The tenants of Hillside Villa have been fighting for six years, and they’re not done.You can follow and subscribe to the series here.
