'Eye-opening, practical, thoughtful and revolutionary'
Danny Dorling, author of Peak Injustice: Solving Britain's Inequality Crisis
'A birds-eye view of tenant organizing across the global north that touches down in moving stories of everyday struggle, Renters Unite! is a generous and urgent reflection on the diversity of tactics in our movement—to turn individual fear into collective defiance, to deepen our roots in our communities, and to scale up our work to win the housing and the world we deserve'
