Action

We have developed a toolkit for organizing during the pandemic. The toolkit includes: tenant union organizing steps, elements of strategic campaigns, tips for organizing a rent strike, template letters, meeting agendas, and more. You can read it HERE in zine form. - Mutual Aid
In a time of crisis, we can respond to the needs of our community with collective power and mutual aid. Donations go toward food and supplies for KC Tenants leaders so our tenant leaders team can stay afloat.
