Landlords are scum. Building solidarity and power among fellow renters is really fucking important. Discuss

How to organize a Tenants Union in your building.

Form a Tenants' Union!

If organizing your building yourself seems too intimidating at first, seek out and help with housing organizing in your city/region and learn from more experienced organizers. You'll have helped out other renters and pretty soon it won't feel so intimidating to lead organizing yourself.

    I attempted to in the past, but unfortunately all of my neighbors rent their homes out via airbnb so I don't know who my real neighbors even are.

        Presumably I could, but then I would feel conflicted by organizing with scum landlords.

      Oof. Again, I recommend looking into groups in your area that are doing regional-level housing organizing, directly helping and supporting tenants in your area and lobbying for pro-tenant legislation. That matters just as much if not more than your own individual building.
