Episode Synopsis

Our host, LUL Interim President & CEO Lyndon Pryor is joined by Josh Poe of the Louisville Tenants Union. The duo talks about fair housing, the tenants' rights movement, government responsibility, and grassroots advocacy. Poe talks about how the dichotomy of NIMBY vs. YIMBY is really a smokescreen for real progress.
Poe has over 20 years of experience with tenant organizing and housing policy. His research and organizing are focused on building powerful, multiracial bases of tenants in the Southern US. He is also the co-founder of the Root Cause Research Center, which helps build structured tenant-led campaigns and produce knowledge in solidarity with communities under threat of displacement, surveillance, and police violence. Originally from Eastern Kentucky, he formerly worked with Washington Citizens Action in Seattle, WA.
