Resources and networks for Bay Area tenants on or considering rent strike

[🐝 ACCE 🐝 @CalOrganize]

The Black Housing Union is demanding that @Nate_Miley do his job and house all unsheltered Oaklanders NOW #FillTheRooms #HousingIsAHumanRight

[Tenant And Neighborhood Councils @TANC_Bay]

Car Protest is today! Ride on a local slumlord to demand they negotiate not harass their tenants!

Meet at 925 W Grand Ave, Oakland at 10:30am. We'll depart at 11am.

[Tenants Together @TenantsTogether]

If your landlord is asking to see your personal bank statements, asking for a cut of your stimulus payment toward rent, or demanding any other sensitive personal information, please contact a legal aid or tenants' rights organization immediately.

[L.A. Tenants Union @LATenantsUnion]

Cancel rent means CANCEL RENT. Why we fight for cancellation not “assistance” or “relief:”

[Tenants Together @TenantsTogether]

Veritas, San Francisco's largest landlord, has $3 BILLION in assets. That's about the franchise value of the entire Golden State Warriors team.

Mega-landlords should not be hoovering up relief money when so many small businesses cannot pay commercial rents and employee wages.

[Tenants Together @TenantsTogether]

This is absolutely heinous. If you or someone you know is being coerced in this way please contact a local legal aid or tenant organization. If you're in California, you can call our hotline at [phone].

"This is a sudden housing crisis that has collided with a slow-boiling, structural housing crisis... The rents were too high. They are too high. And now the government must do something about it." #cancelrent #cancelmortgages #debtfreefuture

[Raise the Roof Concord @rtrconcord]

#ContraCosta Eviction Moratorium! Look out for Spanish version next!

If you live in Richmond, San Pablo, El Cerrito, Concord, Pittsburg, or Antioch, your city has adopted a local ordinance that is stronger in some ways than the county.

Website coming soon! #TenantRights

[Tenants Together @TenantsTogether]

Right now, millions of renters are facing evictions and inability to pay rent. But even if we are home alone, we don't have to fight alone.

[The Appeal @theappeal]

Renters in the Bay Area are coordinating with one another, forming unions to protect tenants whose incomes have disappeared during COVID-19. “We need to collectively use our voice and power to negotiate a fair distribution of relief.” https://t.co/lXgl9gIIAK

[AntiDisplacementCoup @AsterZephyrIsis]

If the Fisher family-- owners of the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and other companies, one of the biggest collectors of contemporary art in the world, wealthiest families in the Bay Area-- can just stop paying their rent, probably we should too
