These fuckers don't care about mothers and children.
Throughout its run the hotline has helped hundreds of tenants fight back against their landlords. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve all accomplished through the hotline. Watch this space for updates on how to join and get in touch with CTM in the near future!
Starting on March 31st, the Chicago Tenant’s Movement hotline will begin to shut down so we can focus our organizing capacity on street outreach, canvassing, and helping tenants launch campaigns in their buildings.
For the entire month of April, calling the hotline will direct callers to a list of various other resources to reach out to instead of our hotline. On April 30th, the hotline will close and the number will be disconnected.

Our Thermometer Distribution is still happening! If your snowed in today without proper heating give us a call and we can get you access to a thermometer and begin a campaign to have your landlord turn up your heat!
@Valerieblaise @mayo4u Even in a situation like this there are ways to stay in your home! Call us at 773-657-8700 if you’re interested! No worries if you’d rather move but be aware that you have options!
The weather is getting colder and the landlords are getting shadier! Chicago Tenants Movement is handing out thermometers to tenants who believe their landlord has shut off the heat or lowered it below the legal minimum!(68 degrees during the day 66 at night)
