About this event
Raise the Roof: Building Tenant Power In Syracuse - Tenant unions have sprouted up in cities around the country. This documentary brings viewers inside the movement for housing justice. It tells the story of tenant organizing in Syracuse, a city with one of the highest rates of poverty in the nation and an enduring housing crisis characterized by historic rent increases and widespread housing neglect and disrepair. This film brings viewers into tenants' homes to witness the consequences of slumlord's negligence. It also gives viewers a rare look into the workings of the tenant union, documenting what tenant unions do and the processes whereby tenant power is forged. This documentary is a must-see for all who believe that housing is a human right. (2024, 51m, Director: Gretchen Purser) + Q&A
