Altadena Tenants Union to Hold First In-Person General Meeting Aug. 26

The meeting will include a recap of recent activities, a renters’ rights overview and a collaborative tenant discussion

The Altadena Tenants Union will hold its first in-person general meeting Tuesday, Aug. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Altadena Main Library, located at 600 E. Mariposa St.

The meeting is open exclusively to current or displaced Altadena tenants.

Homeowners, organizational representatives, neighboring community members, law enforcement, landlords and journalists reporting stories are asked not to attend, according to the event announcement.

The meeting will include a recap of Altadena Tenants Union’s activities from January through August, a brief overview of renters’ rights, and a collaborative problem-solving session focused on a tenant-submitted issue. Spanish translation will be available, and attendees are asked to register in advance to confirm their tenant status.

The event will begin with a 30-minute social period, followed by the general meeting and a closing session. Tenants unable to attend in person are encouraged to register and indicate their availability. Altadena Tenants Union organizers say they are evaluating future formats for meetings.

Over the past eight months, Altadena Tenants Union members have connected at the Disaster Recovery Center, World Central Kitchen meal lines and local recovery events. Organizers hope the Aug. 26 meeting builds solidarity and expands tenant engagement in Altadena.
