Socialist Solution to the Housing Crisis
Sat 4 Jul @ 3:00 PM
Hear from local Victorian Socialists candidates from the Richmond, Essendon and Melbourne electorates about how we can push back against greedy landlords and fight for a positive socialist vision for housing.
The Melbourne, Richmond and Essendon branches of Victorian Socialists are hosting a forum on a “Socialist Solution to the Housing Crisis”. The housing system is rigged for property investors. Rents and house prices are going through the roof, squeezing more money out of ordinary working class people and putting into the hands of the rich. Victorian Socialists thinks that housing should not be a commodity for property investors to speculate on, but a human right. Come to this forum and hear from our local candidates in the upcoming November Victorian election about our positive socialist vision for housing and how you can get involved. Speakers will include the bane of all landlords, Jordan van den Lamb (known as PurplePingers online), and housing activists Chris Dite and Michal Kedem.
The event will be held in Community Hall C of Djerring Flemington Hub.
