Bristol Renters’ Meet-up at BASE! 23rd April – 6.30 – 8pm

Calling all renters! As you may have noticed, renting in Bristol can be a nightmare! Rents are at record highs, and will continue spiralling out of control without something to curb landlord greed. At the Bristol Fair Renting Campaign, we are fighting for rent controls, better rental conditions, and an end to discriminatory renting practices – and we need you to help build a powerful renter movement in the city! The choice is yours – we welcome all forms of contribution, whether that’s turning up to an event and helping us build a bigger picture of renter experiences, through to lobbying local and national representatives for change!

The housing injustice tide is turning! Bristol City Council now actively supports the introduction of rent controls in the city.The Renters Rights Bill means we have a powerful opportunity to build on the existing conversation. But we need to keep the pressure up, both on local and national government, to make fair renting a reality.

If you want to meet other renters, get involved in our campaign, enjoy some free food, and chat with your neighbours, join us for our Renter Meet-Up!

RADICAL POLITICS IN OUR LIVES – THURSDAY 27TH MARCH – 7PM

What could anarchist green spaces and mental health support look like?

Continuing our community’s conversations about anarchy, BASE and organizing! Last time, we talked about what an ideal anarchist system for housing might look like, but didn’t end up having the time to go into green spaces ๐Ÿ 

This time, we’ll talk about what we (as anarchists) would like green spaces and mental health support systems to look like!

Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you’re new to the community or didn’t manage to make it to previous discussions (which we’ll give a short summary of) ๐Ÿ’–

Samosas & tea provided ๐Ÿซ–โฉ
