Building Tenant Power. Together

We are Connecticut tenants. We come from all backgrounds and walks of life. We belong to different races and ethnicities, cultures and religions, genders and sexual orientations. We speak different languages. We have different abilities. We are human beings. We are trying to live. We are a movement.

And we demand safe and stable housing for all. 

Whether we're at the legislature or in the streets, we're here to fight for the just and sustainable future that we deserve. We all need a place to call home, a place where we can flourish and build community. And that's exactly what we're building.

Landlords cannot be allowed to treat our homes as speculative investments, subjecting us to exploitation and uncertainty. The crisis of housing under capitalism is a catastrophe on moral, economic, and environmental grounds. In the face of an ever-changing world, in which we will have to face unprecedented challenges, we are taking action.

The price of obedience to a broken order has become too high. We must build a Connecticut for the multiracial working class—a Connecticut which guarantees a home for all. We must build a Connecticut committed to the well-being of all its citizens. We are motivated by the need to build a better world, for ourselves and for all generations to come.
