Why haven’t housing activists done this yet?

Informally they have, because there’s a movement for people to assign their leases to other people they know. But it’s not general.

I’m just talking about a “knock on every door campaign” where they can ask to put the details of your lease into a public database. At lease pamphlets… or a facebook campaign. something… I think a database like this is something these gro like FRAPU ups could easily build for the benefit of the population.

housing committees and the like who are involved in these efforts are fuelled by the financial support of their members and communities; and their capacities are dependent on the quantity of volunteer labour that’s around.
you’re totally right to ping their role in this struggle, and everyone who feels the housing committees & so on have a role to play could email them tonight, sign up as members, and let them know how much time per week they have to volunteer to this push.
