In this episode David talks with Jen Snyder about Prop F, the ballot measure passed one year ago that promises legal representation to all tenants facing eviction. 1,600 San Franciscans were evicted in 2017, a 26% increase from 2010, and 90% of evicted people are black or Latinx. While landlords are well-armed in the courts, only 10% of tenants have lawyers. So Prop F addresses a major power imbalance between property owners and the working class. Jen was central to the campaign for Prop F alongside Dean Preston, the tenant rights attorney now running for supervisor of district 5. Jen is Dean’s campaign manager. www.votedean.com
