Organize Your Building

RHODE ISLAND TENANTS UNION

We are Rhode Island 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 stable and dignified housing for all.

Tell us about yourself below so we can start building power together. Fill out this form if you are a tenant and you want to organize your building or learn more about doing so. We are prioritizing complexes with 30+ units. Your responses will be kept secure and will not be shared.

If you're not a tenant in a large building but want to get involved in the movement, schedule a call with a Reclaim organizer.
