Tenant Organizing Resource Center

We aren’t done fighting this 14% sales tax increase that @CLTgov @MeckCounty & #yesformeck want U to support. @clt_alliance is spending millions to convince U. Until Election Day, look for blog post from us every Tuesday & Thursday & Comic Book memes to inform U on why to vote NO

5/ 📣 We need you there. Show up. Share this. Stand with Forest Park. #SaveForestParkFamilies #SalvemosFamiliasForestPark #NoDesalojos #CharlotteNC #HousingJustice #StopRezoning #ProtectNOAH #HomesNotHotels

4/ This is not just about Forest Park. It’s about immigrant rights. It’s about housing justice. It’s about whether we let developers erase communities for profit — or we fight to protect working-class neighborhoods.

3/ The community is fighting back. 🗣️ They’ve organized, spoken to media, and will be showing up June 16 to urge Charlotte City Council to vote NO on rezoning. 📍4PM Press Conference 📍5PM Public Hearing at Charlotte Government Center

2/ Now a developer wants to rezone the park and demolish the entire community to build 395 market-rate apartments. That means 60 families evicted and another piece of naturally affordable housing (NOAH) gone forever.

1/ Forest Park Mobile Home Park in Charlotte is home to 60 immigrant, working-class families. They own their homes. They’ve lived here for decades. They’ve poured their savings into repairs, additions, and creating stability for their kids.

🧵 Thread: What’s happening at Forest Park is a textbook case of displacement.
