It's not just workers who benefit from solidarity: #TenantsUnions have formed across the province in response to corporate takeovers of scarce rental stock. These finance-sector landlords have armies of lawyers who've figured out how to bypass rent-control rules and evict tenants who balk. Rather than rolling over, tenants' unions are organizing waves of rent-strikes:

As radicals, we might think of elections as band-aid solutions at best--not the large scale change the world needs. But tenant organizers in Pasadena, CA, used an electoral campaign strategically to build class power and strengthen/synergize with their organizing efforts.
Listen to episode 12 now and hear the story of Measure H, as told by tenant organizers on the ground. Available wherever you listen to podcasts!
Episode 10 is dropping tomorrow morning (Sunday March 5). Featuring radical theory, on-the-ground organizing, and stories from two amazing tenants unions.
And some faint windchimes because I recorded my narration in a windstorm. Whoops!

RESOLUTION NO. 190934
Establishing a Tenants Bill of Rights in the City of Kansas City, Missouri.
The Ordinance itself.
Read for yourself what is being proposed. Don't believe the landlord's lies. #KC #kctenants #tenantsunions #housingisahumanright #inoculate
Is there a group like the #IWW or #DebtCollective but for #TenantsUnions? One that helps renters organize across a really broad area? I keep looking but can't find any
