Demoviction 2018: Tenant Resistance to Domicide
From: Resisting Eviction
$1.90
Chapter 8 documents the second phase of demoviction in 2018 and the emergence of the Herongate Tenant Coalition to try and stop the evictions. Crosby explores a number of coalition tactics including tenant mobilization and social media engagement. He also records Timbercreek’s responses to tenant mobilizations, which include techniques of legal repression such as threats of lawsuits and attempts to silence the coalition on social media.
