Tenant Unions
The New Justice Project seeks the opportunity to give tenants the power and the opportunity to organize a city-wide or neighborhood-based tenants union that gives renters the ability to negotiate with landlords around rises in rent as grievances at the city and state level around repairs and improvements.
We believe that housing is a human right and that tenants should have the right to control said housing as well as the opportunity to push back on slum lords and greedy developers.
