#rentstrike — Public Fediverse posts

A spinach casserole from the 1930s that is barely middle class. Also, tenant activism works and fascists hate it.

'residents of two mobile home parks unionised in May to stage Montana's first rent strike in 50 years, according to the fledgling, youth-filled local tenant union that helped them organise. The strike was a response to an almost $100 hike in monthly plot rent - the rent mobile home owners pay to park their home'

Pay more taxes? Absolutely not!

Tax the Billionaires, the Oligarchs, who have and are destroying health care and every other public service? Abso-fkn-lootly!!!

If every medical professional in Ontario went on a #WildcatStrike, our complicit, grifting, CONservative scumbag government would be forced to capitulate.

Imagine if every Ontario educator did the same....

Imagine if every Ontario Renter engaged in a #RentStrike...

We are the ones with the power. We need to stop mewling, and use it!

Activists in the Twin Cities have organized for a rent strike to begin on March 1. Learn more about the action and why they've called for it in the linked episode of the Majority Report. The relevant interview starts at about 24:00 into the podcast. I've also got the direct org link below.

#TwinCities Unions Planning ‘Largest US #RentStrike in 100+ Years’ as #ICEOccupation Drives #EvictionCrisis

“Tenants in #Minnesota are in a crisis,” said #Minneapolis City Council Member #AishaChughtai. “The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our #LocalEconomy.”

Stephen Prager, Feb 17, 2026

"Tenant and labor unions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have announced plans to carry out what they said would be the 'largest rent strike in the United States in the last 100 years.'

"Beginning on #March1, if Democratic Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz does not meet their urgent demands for an #EvictionMoratorium and #RentRelief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.

"The plans were announced on Tuesday by the tenants union #TwinCitiesTenants, which is joined by five labor unions: Service Employees International Union (#SEIU) Local 26, SEIU Healthcare Minnesota/Iowa, UNITE HERE Local 17, the Amalgamated Transit Union (#ATU) 1005, and Communication Workers of America (#CWA) 7250.

"They argued that a freeze on rents is desperately needed after 'nearly three months of federal occupation' under President Donald #Trump’s '#OperationMetroSurge,' which sent nearly 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) and other immigration agents to the area, resulting in multiple fatal shootings and a wave of #CivilRights violations, including explicit #RacialProfiling."

In Canada, what got us those CERB monthly cheques at the start of this pandemic? The looming prospect of organized rent strikes in all the major cities. The people in charge are always afraid the people will figure this kind of thing out. #resist #generalstrike #rentstrike #uspol #minneapolis #canada

What happens if there is a nationwide #RentStrike?

We need to start a dialogue about what a mutual aid network needs and looks like there are already so many things like this happening the eviction blocking protests the rental support on occasion but rent strike is a way of seizing the means of housing and it doesn't need to be that big from what I understand in order for it to start being effective

#OTD 28 Dec 1907
10,000 households in New York City went on rent strike, demanding a reduction in prices of around 20%. Rents in the area, the then-working class Lower East Side, had increased in cost by a third over the previous two years.
The action was sparked by 16-year-old Lithuanian Jewish textile worker Pauline Newman, who worked at the #TriangleShirtwaistFactory
