Malique Parker’s (He/His) project will focus on increasing tenant engagement by organizing in Baltimore City. He will facilitate tenant-led organizing through outreach, education, and community organizing.
Malique will connect with Black and Brown tenants who are facing eviction or substandard housing conditions with attorneys hired under the implementation of the state and city eviction right-to-counsel laws.
Malique will develop and execute a weekly plan for Baltimore Renters United outreach in buildings, rent courts, and/or other public spaces. He will implement regular, bi-monthly city-wide tenant organizing meetings. Offer tenant training and Know Your Rights training throughout the year to groups. Lastly, he will recruit tenant leaders to participate in national training with other tenant-led organizing groups.
