Our call for tenants to organize with their neighbours to refuse together is doing well this year. Already, many tenants in our union have organized meetings with their neighbours to plan collective refusals. Supporters of our union have been hand-delivered hundreds of pamphlets that have found themselves distributed to their neighbours' doors and mailboxes. We are already hearing some stories of tenants negotiating down their increases through this tactic.
Today and tomorrow, our neighbourhood chapters in Verdun on the one hand, and the Gay Village larger Centre-Sud area on the other, have planned workshops on how and why to organize collective refusals. Join them Tuesday, 6pm, at 4811 rue Verdun; or Wednesday, 6pm, at 1426 rue Beaudry.
Please let us know if you would like to come and would need childcare!
For people who can help boost these events online, it definitely helps us when members and supporters reshare these events. Please post our posters on other socials if you can.
Together we can beat our rent increases!
