Hi, everyone!
Happy Monday! We hope you are all having a wonderful start to fall. Make sure to take some time to go see all the leaves changing colors across the greater Boston area (and beyond!). All of your textbooks will still be at the law tower waiting for you when you get back, so no worries to be had there. As a reminder, one way you can get involved with HOMES right away is by joining City Life/Vida Urbana at their weekly tenant organizing meetings. City Life is a 50+ year-old grassroots organization fighting for racial, social, and economic justice through direct action, coalition building, education, and advocacy. They hold meetings every Tuesday (in English) in Jamaica Plain and every Wednesday (in Spanish) in East Boston to build community and inform people about their housing rights. If you'd like to attend a meeting with members of HOMES this week, please fill out the Google form below!
