Hello friends, quick update! 📢
It’s been a few months since we’ve published an episode, and TU Podcast will probably remain on break for a while. But we WILL eventually be back with new episodes, because the tenant movement has not stopped!
In the meantime, welcome to new followers and thanks to everyone who continues to listen to the show! TU Podcast is on all podcast streaming apps, and Patreon support is still appreciated if you’d like to help offset the costs of keeping episodes up online ❤️

Even though I usually use “we” in tweets (“I” sounds weird idk), TU Podcast is really just one person, @anarchotrash. Hosting/producing the show takes a lot time, but I really believe sharing info about tenant unions is a worthwhile task, so I’ll continue as soon as I can!
“What makes affiliation with ATUN compelling is its commitment to pushing forward tenant organizing in places with tenant unions and in places without them.”
Thanks to @BostonTenants members for this insightful essay on our efforts to build autonomous tenant power!
DID YOU KNOW? Cities can seize properties through eminent domain and then sell those properties to the tenants who live there! This is simply a fun fact that we are sharing for no reason.
Just a heads up, @atun_rsia has videos up on YouTube on tenant organizing, researching your landlords, housing theory, and more! https://t.co/UOlVNsCZhK
“Eviction is a moral evil. Rent is a moral evil. And we should aim to eliminate these things rather than to put band-aids over them.” —@athenogenes https://t.co/Pu3wjw4Fhi

Our next town hall is this coming Saturday, June 12th, at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern.

“With each tenant victory, we increase our capacity, refine our strategies and expand the horizon of what is possible.” The @LATenantsUnion on our first five years of building tenant power against the real estate state: https://t.co/yB9JHuy5UA
Since 2015, the @LATenantsUnion has been a vital space of empowerment, mutual aid and political transformation, supporting #LA tenants in their struggle to bring into existence a world without rent. https://t.co/8gbSdBj0yv
landlords to tenants/the government: “being a landlord is hard work, we barely even profit, we’re doing society a favor just by existing”
landlords to other landlords: “lol look at all my free money”
