What you can do for T.P.A.

Usually a headline like the above heralds a plea for money. Well, we won't disappoint you this time. The Tenants' Protection Association is very short of funds to carry out their latest plans. But just as urgently, TPA needs volunteer helpers for all the added work that has to be carried out to do something about the present dismal housing situation.

At a recent meeting, the association formed itself into a number of committees to organise the different facets of their work. They now need people willing to be called on to assist with the running of the office (telephone duty etc); helping tenants present rent appeals; general casework; research into housing problems, raising finance in the community, publishing and social activities. All this in addition to the direct action tactics of picketing, protests and sit-ins for which it's always useful to have names to call on.

If throughout the year you've read about the doings of TPA and wondered what you could do to help, and if you find any of the above activities interesting or at least want more information, call at 48 Aro Street or the Salient Office, or phone 552606. TPA's postal address is c/- P.O. Box 11160.
