"For years...orgs here worked mostly within the system, mostly politely. They did some good. But they did not build a movement. @kctenants has. The group has been aggressive occasionally, belligerent and ...unbound by the traditional rules of engagement." that's my tenant union❤️🔥

Help us call tenants across the Twin Cities and build 10,000 pledges for the March 1st rent strike!
We fought ICE out of Minnesota. Now we’re fighting to keep them in their homes.
No experience needed. Out of towners welcome.
