The housing system is designed to make the people at the top richer while the rest of us struggle to pay rent or afford a mortgage. The only way the system will improve is if the working class organize to challenge the status quo.
In today’s episode, we talk with Chiara Padovani, an organizer who has been challenging corporate landlords and building tenant power with her neighbours.
