Who We Are

The Tucson Tenants Union is a tenant-led organization fighting for housing justice in Southern Arizona.

We believe that housing is a human right, not a commodity.

We are a grassroots, anti-capitalist organization fighting against the displacement, abuse, and exploitation of tenants.

We define tenants as anyone who is not in control of their own housing: renters, the unhoused, and folks whose homes are owned by banks.

We seek to advance an intersectional movement that fights against structural oppression and the exploitation of the working poor by organizing tenants and allied groups. 

We believe that solidarity is key to building the power for transformational change: The right to universal safe and secure housing will only be won with a movement that builds collective power and is led by those most affected: communities of color and the working poor.
