Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

The Tenant Union Federation is a union of unions organizing tenants 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, to guarantee housing as a public good, and to establish tenants as a political and economic class that cannot be ignored.

Hell yeah! I hope they continue to get 'TUF' on bad housing policy... 😎

This is so badly needed. I hope they get good traction. Not only do renters get stiffed all the time by outrageous rents/rent increases and illegal non-return of security deposits (and more!), there are also people who sincerely believe that renters shouldn't even be allowed to vote because they're "not invested in the community".

Makes me livid.
