S042 Rent Strike

street theater

Permanently reduce Capital Income by 1 in up to three City Areas you control (place the Rent Strike markers there).

NOTE: We recommend placing the markers over the capital cube icon in the City Area.

From 1966 to 1969, the Chicago Tribune published more than 100 articles about tenant unions, rent strikes and the conditions that produced them. In 1969, the Chicago Defender reported on a survey showing that in the first eight months of that year, tenant organizations “took action 67 times in 23 cities” against slum conditions and the absence of rights for tenants.
