Hey everyone!

This is the first of many posts we at Boise Tenants United hope to start making. For now, here's a little about who we are:

Boise Tenants United isn't a charity. We're a group of local tenants and organizers who are fed up. Fed up with the exploitation and neglect of local landlords, fed up with high rent and poor maintenance, fed up with the housing we all need being treated like any other product to be made into corporate profits.

We don't believe politicians or charities are coming to save us. If we want affordable housing and a dignified life, we need to organize to get it. We believe we need to organize actual power as tenants in response to the organized power of the landlord class and those who are bought by them. There's no one answer for how to build power, but we have to start somewhere.

A future of tenant power will require democratic, collective decision-making. If you are a tenant, organizer, or anyone else who believes in building tenant power there can be a place for you in BTU. Together we can be strong enough to pick any fight and win!

For now Boise Tenants United is just an idea, but several volunteers are already door-knocking and planning how we can organize as tenants. Some really exciting announcements will be coming soon, so stay tuned and DM us with any questions or comments.

No to corporate profiteering and landlordism, yes to tenant power!

Solidarity!
