High Quality Only ✊🏽Milwaukee tenants—We when fight, we win! Tenants of Milwaukee’s biggest slumlord win major concessions from legal settlement.
💪🏽Milwaukee tenants score a win over big landlord Joe Berrada with a civil settlement. As the city’s largest landlord, Berrada has wreaked havoc on Black, working-class tenants on the northside through badly maintained buildings, illegal fines, and mass eviction filings. He has established himself as the city’s biggest slumlord in the eyes of many tenants.Despite Berrada’s money and lawyers, tenants fought. For years, they spoke out and organized with their neighbors for maintenance and repairs and their right to live in dignity.
This win is a glimpse of what we can do when we fight together! When tenants, working class and poor people come together, we can win dignified housing as a human right! ✊🏽
