Abstract
The tenants form a tenants’ union and join with tenants in the Financial District, South of Market, Tenderloin and Western Addition to fight the SFRDA. Meetings and self-help from legal aid to food distribution build a city-wide organization that results in the Community Congress. Tactics include mass defense of homes slated for eviction, mass demonstrations are organized at SFRDA meetings, SF Planning Commission Meetings and SF Supervisors’ meetings.
