The impacts of housing policy are intimately woven into the lives of tenants and homeowners who are also workers, without whom our City would cease to function. Good jobs and benefits are essential to workers, as is good housing and affordability. But gentrification and speculation have severely impacted working-class neighborhoods, and the ability of workers to continue to live in the city where they work. Hear from Labor, housing advocates and policy makers on how we should continue working together to ensure that the needs of workers shape our city's housing policy. Join Kim Tavaglione, Executive Director of the San Francisco Labor Council, Davida Sotelo Escobedo of Jobs with Justice, John Doherty of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), and the Council of Community Housing Organizations for a discussion on the fruits and future of this collaboration.
