People deserve real answers on the rent. Something’s gotta give. The solution to rent gouging? Rent caps. The way we get there? Fighting, strike-ready tenant unions.
This Trump supporter says his kids are struggling to pay rent and asks Trump what he’d do to bring down the cost of rent. The response is so unbelievably bad.

We are organizing to wield power at a massive scale, to bargain for tenant protections, to disrupt the flow of capital to those who commodify our homes, to secure alternatives to the current housing market, and to guarantee housing as a public good.

We are founded by five locals, starting small on purpose, prioritizing aligned theory of power.

The housing market is a catastrophic failure, shaped by the relentless prioritization of those who profit from our basic need for a home.
It is not a given that the people will prevail against today’s odds, but if we have a chance, the chance lives in the tenant union.

The Tenant Union Federation takes strategic direction from our locals, which govern the Federation through an elected leadership team, two reps per union.
We plan to expand our membership in 2025.

STRIKE POWER. Tenants ultimate power? Our rent. How we wield our power? Strikes. Two unions just authorized first-ever coordinated strikes in federally-financed properties.
Unions in Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Montana, Kentucky, preparing to escalate...
RENT STRIKE AUTHORIZATION: LAST NIGHT TWO KC-AREA BUILDING UNIONS VOTED TO AUTHORIZE RENT STRIKES TO LAUNCH OCTOBER 1.
Quality Hill Towers and Independence Towers, both majority unions in federally financed properties, demand national rent caps, new ownership, bargained leases.

"My tenant union
@KCTenants
has built strike insurance for the members of my local union, UAW 249. A national tenant union is the kind of solidarity we need, nationwide. Organized tenants and organized workers… that’s a winning team."

Fantastic thread that lays out the strike strategy. Give it a read to learn more about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Finance Agency... and why tenants have spent years learning the ins and outs as we fight for our homes.
"First ever [rent] strikes to target the Federal Housing Finance Authority"
What does that mean? Why does it matter? Here’s a wonky 🧵 about the government's role in funding slumlords and why these rent strikes are targeting an obscure Federal agency.

POLL: 73% of battleground voters support rent caps.
The rent is too damn high. The solution to rent gouging? Rent caps. This is the only solution that meets the scale and severity of the crisis tenants endure every month.

Corporate greed must end. Profiteering off of basic needs must end.
Organized tenants will win, it’s a matter of time, discipline, and strategy.
Breaking News: The Justice Department plans to file a lawsuit against the company RealPage, claiming its software enabled landlords to collude to raise rents.

Our government is in business with our landlords. These strikes target both the landlords AND the regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The tenants are demanding national rent caps, new ownership, collectively bargained leases.

(We are not involved. But what an interesting wrinkle in the system that treats our homes like commodities.)

Targets have till COB Monday to respond to the unions' demands and meet at the bargaining table. Barring that, the unions are set to strike on Oct 1 and prepared to escalate until we win.

These strikes are launching in Kansas City but tenants are preparing to escalate in federally-financed properties across the country. Every first of the month presents another opportunity for tenants to strike.
