Toronto ACORN

Toronto’s union in the community. We’re working class people organizing to transform our city.

[ACORN Canada @ACORNCanada]

Tenants at 2000 Sheppard West held a successful speakout to protest unfinished repairs, health and safety concerns. A demand letter to the Landlord was delivered. The fight will continue for safe and healthy homes. Add your voice with our online action: https://t.co/E6JZUfIbRx

As heatwaves hit record numbers tenants are paying the price. ACORN is calling for max temp protections, retrofit funding tied to anti-eviction rules, and urgent action to keep homes safe. We don’t have time to wait. Tenants are trapped in 30°C apartments https://t.co/OfdBn4RBnp

📣📣Update: tenant victory! 📣📣

80 Guestville tenants won today at the LTB and got the landlord's application thrown out!

We know landlord Michael Klein will try again, but tenants are ready for the fight 💪💪

When we organize we win!

[TTCriders @ttcriders]

TTCriders is shocked that #TTC is ending free Wi-Fi, with so many questions about the true cost of keeping the service still unanswered.

Orgs like @TorontoACORN are demanding Wi-Fi funding in the 2025 City Budget. We'll keep pushing for answers. 🧵

“I have worked with housing advocates” - a man who’s been ignoring tenants from @DawesTenantsTO who’ve been trying to meet with him for months.

Brad, if you want to work with housing advocates, just email us to meet with our members!

See my statement on today's committee changes below

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

Toronto’s Planning & Housing Committee passed the anti-renoviction bylaw! @TorontoACORN members spoke out against predatory landlords using renovictions to displace tenants for profit. Now, they are working on the final step to urge City Council and the Mayor to pass this bylaw

[Toronto ACORN @TorontoACORN]

Yesterday, Toronto’s draft anti-renoviction bylaw passed committee!

We need YOUR help to make sure it passes at City Council on November 13th!

[Don Valley Community Legal Services @DonValleyCLS]

The renovictions bylaw just passed Toronto's Planning & Housing Committee! 🎉 Our staff have been advocating for and working on this bylaw since 2019. We hope we never have to help another tenant fight a renoviction again. Thank you @PaulaFletcherTO @TorontoACORN @TorontoTenants

[Toronto ACORN @TorontoACORN]

$200 might help a low-income family cover half of one (1) grocery bill after their rent gets hiked above the guideline! Gee, thanks Doug! 🙃

[Ontario ACORN @OntarioACORN]

Same Doug. Same old bag of tricks.

You know an election is around the corner when @fordnationdougford tries 2 bribe voters with checks in the mail 💸

$200 won't fix Ontario's cost of living crisis or make #housing more affordable.

But full rent control would. #onpoli

[Paula Fletcher @PaulaFletcherTO]

📢 Great news! Today, city staff released their recommendations for Council to approve a renovictions by-law.

This is a big step forward for Toronto. I’ve worked hard alongside tenants & housing advocates to bring forward this by-law to protect renters & our existing affordable housing supply.

[Dawes Road Tenants' Association @DawesTenantsTO]

500 Dawes Rd is an unsafe building.

@cityoftoronto does not have a plan to remedy the situation, and @BradMBradford has only attended during campaign visits.

If 650 Parliament or 77 Howard are reliable precedent, the City won't act until it's too late.

[Nick Ballard @_NickBallard]

It’s right to be embarrassed about profiting from people’s need to have a roof over their head. Nobody is forcing you to do it.

With the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, ACORN affiliate @PSCC_Palestine need support. To raise funds for their vital work, we’re selling t-shirts based on original PSCC designs. 100% of profits will support them!

500 Dawes Rd Update:

A nearly 7 storey high pile of Garbage in our chute this morning.

When will @BradMBradford @CarletonGrant @cityoftoronto do something about the 86+ property standards violations at 500 Dawes Road?

Less Talk. More Action.

@BradMBradford Hundred of residents in your ward continue to be ignored; living in poorly maintained and unsafe apartment towers, whilst you prioritize dismantling the Vacant Home Tax.

Petitions, emails, phone calls have all gone unanswered.
