Housing Justice League Eviction Response Training

Our comrades at Housing Justice League are creating an Eviction Crisis Response Team to coordinate in-person direct actions to support tenants facing eviction in the metro Atlanta area. On Thursday, 4/15 at 6:30pm, they will be holding the first of three trainings for people interested in being a part of this team. Attending these trainings does not obligate you to participate in any specific actions, but in order to be a part of the Eviction Crisis Response Team, you must attend all three trainings.
