Tenant Unions and Movements

“Housing Justice for All is a statewide movement of tenants and homeless New Yorkers united in our fight for housing as a human right.”

“The National Low Income Housing Coalition is dedicated solely to achieving socially just public policy that ensures people with the lowest incomes in the United States have affordable and decent homes.”

“A short-term suspension of evictions is not enough to save people's homes. And the meager rescue stimulus payments the government provided are long gone for most people. Even if there is another one, it will be needed for food, healthcare and other necessities. Canceling rents and mortgage payments for the duration of the crisis can be won!”

“The Ithaca Tenants Union is an organization by and for tenants that aims to protect us on the individual, collective, and legal levels. We’re super new right now, but we’ve started building a database of landlord reports and reviews, and we’re getting ready to make that available to everyone. To help, head to ithacaTU.org/rentcheck!”

“The LA Tenants Union is a diverse, tenant-led movement fighting for the human right to housing for all. We demand safe, affordable housing and universal rent control. We organize against landlord harassment, mass evictions, and displacement. We mobilize for the repeal of the Ellis Act and Costa-Hawkins Act. Our mission is to strengthen tenants’ political power through education, advocacy, and direct action.”

“The City-Wide Tenant Union (CWTU) of Rochester is a grassroots housing justice movement to elevate housing to a human right and secure community control over land and housing by building tenant power and expanding the rights of all tenants.”

“Autonomous Tenants Union is an all-volunteer organization committed to organizing for housing justice from below and to the left. As an independent collective based in Chicago, we strategize together to defend and enforce our right to dignified housing. We believe that housing is a human right, not a commodity! We fight for an end to all evictions, and for community control of housing through the building of popular power.”
