Zine issue 1

LRU members from across the union have put together the new LRU zine. The zine provides a creative space beyond our grassroots organising for members to share their experiences of our rigged housing system and imagine different futures. The first edition includes artwork, short fiction, and interviews with members.
You can read the full edition online here, or you can pick up a copy from the London Renters Union office in Pelican House.
If you are interested in contributing to future editions, please email lruzinesubmissions@gmail.com.
Please note, some of the artwork in edition one deals with issues such as substance dependency and sex work.
This edition was put together by Ygerne Price and Robbie Warin.
