Today we're joined by Sasha Perigo, a San Francisco based writer and all-around wealth of knowledge on California's complex, rough-and-tumble housing battles. We start with a discussion on AB 1436, a piece of proposed state legislation that would stave off the avalanche of evictions facing California renters. (If you want to help keep your neighbors housed, sign up here to have a letter sent in your name to your state senator.) Sasha then shares with us a very interesting Dem-on-Dem state senatorial race between Scott Wiener and Jackie Fielder. Wiener, the incumbent, is a classic California business-friendly Democrat who likes to fashion himself as a progressive, despite his personal political history. Fielder, an actual progressive who was once considered a long-shot in this race, has caught the attention of a Berniecrat movement searching for places to give its support. Finally, we touch on Uber and Lyft's outright refusal to comply with a new state law directing them to give their workers the rights and protections they deserve. Instead, the predatory tech behemoths have amassed $122 million with the help of DoorDash executives to push Prop 22, a ballot initiative that would relieve them of the onus of caring for their employees.Thanks for listening, Dick Cheney made money off the Iraq war and, as always:Patreon: patreon.com/voicesrivercity Twitter: @youknowkempa, @guillotine4you, @ShanNDSTevens, @Flojaune And thank you to Be Brave Bold Robot for the tunes.

84 - Sasha Perigo on the California Housing Crisis and Uber/Lyft's Capital Strike (8.21.2020)

Sasha Perigo is co-chair of the Homelessness Working Group for SF DSA, and has worked in the past for fair housing in Marin County. What can we learn from sharing this perspective with Darrell Owens's activism in the East Bay, as well as a view from Silicon Valley, where the show is recorded? Plenty to talk about regional issues, as well as tenant solidarity as well as other socialists views on housing justice.
