Climate Justice Toronto and the YSW Tenant Union joined forces and helped launch Toronto’s first city-wide tenant union. Follow them here @TenantsUnionTO and catch our special episode from their founding convention 👇

Today I held a press conference on my motion to freeze rent for 2027 and 2028 on rent-controlled homes across Ontario. People are struggling. Renters told us they are skipping meals, delaying medical care, and giving up savings just to keep up with rent. At a time of high unemployment and rising costs, people need stability and savings now. We will be debating the motion tonight at Queen’s Park, and it could go to a vote as early as tomorrow. Thank you to Sharlene Henry and Ounagh Michaud from @TenantsUnionTO , Stacey Semple from @OntarioACORN , @JILLSLASTWORD and @kristynwongtam for joining me today. Housing is everything. We can make life more affordable for renters by passing this motion now. Sign the petition here: jessicabellmpp.ca/rentfreeze

ONDP MPP Jessica Bell has a motion calling for a RENT FREEZE NOW! I was happy to support her and tenants advoacy leaders this morning. Our #tostpauls community has long called for REAL rent control and a BAN on AGIs. Press your MPP to support these supports for tenants! #onpoli

Toronto finally has a city-wide Tenant Union! Blueprints was at their founding convention to witness the moment, interview tenants about their fight and hear how they plan on "taking housing off the market" Special episode just dropped today. Just keep scrolling down. /1

@chipadovani @brunodobrusin @TenantsUnionTO @ricardo_tranjan Oooh. We’ll be sure to link that to the episode we just published from the TTU Convention. pod.fo/e/40f020

Carney & Ford are bailing out developers who built too many condos & investors who can now buy them in bulk at discounted prices. But who’s fighting for tenants? @TenantsUnionTO. Latest from @ricardo_tranjan ⬇️ canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

The new @TenantsUnionTO is challenging the myth that Canada’s housing crisis is just a supply problem. As governments rescue developers and investors, tenants are organizing around a simple reality: housing is about power, class & who cities are built for. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
