Wednesday 10th Leith at 6.30pm, Leith Library. 

Member defence is how we win real changes in our homes and blocks. Members come together to win repairs, stop rent increases, prevent evictions, and improve our immediate conditions by taking action together. All are welcome, no experience necessary.

At each meeting we cover: national and local updates; training on member defence and work on our members issues. If you would like something to be added to the agenda, contact Izzi beforehand.
