Join us this Wednesday, September 27, for The Peoples’ Radio Hour: Housing & Wages in WNC
The Peoples’ Radio Hour is hosted by Jen Hampton, who heads up the Asheville Food and Beverage Union and works on tenants and housing at Just Economics. This week Jen is being joined by Homelessness Prevention Program Director at Pisgah Legal Services David Bartholomew and local union leader and cook Ariana Lingerfelt.
Jen and her guests want to hear from YOU. What are your questions about your rights as a renter in NC? Aside from the obvious issue of affordability, what is most concerning to you about housing? How about labor? What do you want to know about labor organizing and unions in NC? What have you heard about unions in NC that you’re not sure is true?
Email your questions to thepeople@ashevillefm.org
