Stomp Out Slumlords

It's here: our 2023 report, reflecting on the past 2.5 years of organizing after the immediate crisis of the pandemic. Read it, print it, share it with comrades—we hope it moves you (to action). stompoutslumlords.org/wp-content/upl…

SHOW UP. Be loud. Pack the lawn. 📍 Channel Square Apartments (325 P St SW) 🗓 March 4th ⏰ 6 pm Our demands: Drop the charges. End the retaliation. No slum conditions.

This is retaliation. This is union-busting. And if they can do it to one tenant, they will try to do it to all of us.

🚨EMERGENCY RALLY - TENANT LEADER ARRESTED FOR ORGANIZING - WED 3/4 @ 6 PM🚨 At Channel Square (325 P St SW), a resident was charged with Unlawful Entry for attending a tenant union meeting about mold, rodents, plumbing issues, and lack of heat.

The tenants united will never be defeated! ✊✊🏿✊🏻 Thanks to everyone who came to our all-hands meeting to defeat the RENTAL Act and save TOPA! Send a letter to CM Robert White to stop the RENTAL Act: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-c… Come to our rally on 3/18: actionnetwork.org/events/rally-t…

Barbara has been a champion for her neighbors and for tenants all across DC for the past four years. Let's have her back! Any amount you can donate would be greatly appreciated: gofundme.com/f/help-barbara…

🚨 URGENT: help a local tenant leader! Barbara has been organizing for years for better conditions in her building. But now, her dog is really sick & vet costs are piling up. Help Barbara and her 12-year-old son save their dog and keep this family whole! gofundme.com/f/help-barbara…

Biggest shoutout possible to @StompSlumlords for organizing my clients into their (ultimately winning) collective & supporting our litigation throughout Stomp Out Slumlords is a model organizing initiative & its work is directly responsible for this historic win Join DSA today

Join @StompSlumlords next Wednesday, 9/25 at 6:30pm for a TOPA petition canvass! As the landlord lobby continues to attack tenants' rights, these canvasses are vital to not just protect our rights, but to expand them. 📋 RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/stomp-o…

Four great panels on tenant organizing + a meet-up this weekend in Chicago at @socialismconf, with speakers from @StompSlumlords, @TriangleTenants, @dsa_housing, @LATenantsUnion, and @CityLife_Clvu! More info: socialismconference.org

We're proud to endorse the Socialism Conference which will have a panel on social housing from comrades in DSA and @StompSlumlords, a panel from @LATenantsUnion, a book talk on forthcoming @haymarketbooks book Abolish Rent, and a session with @CityLife_Clvu, among many others !

The tenants at the Oaklawn aren't alone though—organized tenants from neighboring Tivoli Gardens and the Woodner are here to show their support. As Roger said, "Your fight is our fight!"

The building hasn't been fumigated since 2002—and even when individuals units are treated, afterwards bugs from untreated neighboring units will just come flooding in

A plague of pests: tenants at the Oaklawn are protesting @VanMetreCo's failure to deal with rampant cockroach, mice, and bedbug infestations. Many are on rent strike against these and other injustices—like a rent hike with no improvements to show for it!

For reference this was her kitchen in 2021, and for all the years landlord @UIPPM neglected it before that. cc @amanduhgomez washingtoncitypaper.com/article/523476…

From falling ceilings and mold to new countertops: Victoria, president of the Buena Vista Co-op, showed us the new kitchens that organizing brought them. Proof that TOPA works!

Excited to bridge our fight against landlords and exploitation across oceans and continents 🌎🌍🌏

Today, our members met with renters from 60 unions and tenants organisations coming from across 20 countries to share our knowledge of the housing system and how we can fight back together! Renters everywhere share the same fight. ✊🏿✊🏽
