One way we keep us safe is getting tenants back into their homes if they've been illegally locked out. Sometimes that requires skills and some handiness. Reach out to us at https://t.co/hbQHOyQ7Ji if you want to get involved.

It should be easy and straightforward for a landlord's holdings to be seized for tenants in need. Leaving homes empty in wait for high-income tenants is a criminal act of the worst kind: an offense against the dignity of life for the pursuit of profit.

[Chicago Tenants Movement @ChiTenants]

Rent’s due again. @GovPritzker still hasn’t lifted the ban on rent control, @chicagosmayor still hasn’t backed real pro-tenant legislation in city council, landlords are still threatening tenants daily.

But if we organize we can defend each other.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

An emerging field of study supports this, and its what activists have been saying for decades, which is violent police harassment is motivated, to a large extent, by real estate interests —> https://t.co/VqBIzzfQJx

[Tenant And Neighborhood Councils @TANC_Bay]

On Saturday, we a few hundred tenants gathered to make it clear that our lives come before our landlords’ profits. This was TANC’s first ever demonstration. Here are some moments from the rally.

sex work is real work, unlike being a landlord

[Metropolitan Tenants Organization @TenantsRights]

We must stop treating housing like a commodity and treat it like what it is: a human right! #CancelEvictions

[Rebecca Burns @RebeccaJBurns_]

The CDC's eviction ban takes effect tomorrow. It:
⚡️Covers most tenants, but they must make a declaration to their landlords
⚡️Allows evictions for reasons other than unpaid rent
⚡️Is both a huge deal, and a half-measure that only delays catastrophe

[Tenants United Hyde Park/Woodlawn @TenantsUnitedHP]

This is huge but also depends on tenants organizing to defend it and their communities from illegal lockouts!
