We have been away, out in the field, working on an important episode about the housing crisis facing western Massachusetts. First, in Easthampton we interviewed 81-year-old resident Jean Frances, who is facing a steep rent increase on a fixed income. She welcomed us into her home to talk about the reality renters are facing. Then, we sat down in Springfield to talk radical action with Rose Webster-Smith, director of Springfield No One Leaves, a grassroots group fighting against evictions and for housing justice. Rose shared her own experience with eviction and discussed strategies and resources tenants can use to fight back.
