Today in Labor History July 4, 1840: The anti-rent association of Berne in the Hudson Valley issued its Declaration of Independence, starting the Anti-Rent War, which lasted until August 1845. Also known as the Helderberg War, the anti-rent war was a tenants' revolt in upstate New York against the patroons, who acted as feudal lords with the right to make laws. The first meeting of the Anti-Rent tenant farmers was held in Berne, New York on July 4, 1839. Leaders of the revolt were tried for riot, conspiracy and robbery in 1845. The first trial resulted in no convictions. A re-trial in September 1845 saw a fist-fight between the attorneys who were sentenced to solitary confinement for 24 hours. One defendant, Smith A. Boughton, was sentenced to life imprisonment, but was pardoned by the pro-Anti-Renter John Young.

Looking for advice from coop housing lovers! 🏘️

Do you know any cooperative housing initiatives in #Rotterdam? Do you know how to start one (is it too utopistic?)

I will be moving there in August/September to attend @xpub 🤩

Considering the current housing crisis, I want to be prepared and to start looking for a place as soon as possible!

Boosts in NL are welcome 💕
