Drawing on personal experience, interviews with tenants across the country and the stories behind our interiors, she explores the unexpected ways we can fight back, highlighting the invaluable work of community organisers who have led the way to change and improve the housing system, inviting us to re-imagine what the future of housing could look like.Buy Kieran’s bookFind Kieran on TwitterMentionsFrom Pollution to policing - can Sadiq Khan clean up London?Flock Together POC in NatureNovara Media interviews landlordsLondon Renters Union The Renters Reform BillThis episode was hosted and produced by Venetia La Manna and edited by Nada Smiljanic.
