(1/2) We had a great time at our holiday mixer last week! Longtime members and new folks alike shared a great potluck, reflected on the work SVTU has engaged in this year, and did some visioning for how we will continue to build a powerful tenant movement in 2026 and beyond.

This means that some 70,000 American tenants' rent money is being funneled, in part, into a company linked to the displacement and genocide of Palestinians 6,000 miles away, while facing rent hikes and eviction filings themselves. (10/10)

For @thenation.com and @typeinvestigations.org, I looked into American Landmark, a major landlord filing evictions far more than the national average.

I found they are owned by an Israeli company with ties to the IDF, including during the Gaza genocide. (1/10)

I don’t live in DPH anymore but when I did and I had issues with a fucked up landlord, I reached out to Sac Tenant Union (former iteration, many of the same ppl) and they were hella there for me and helped me win a standoff.

I’m so glad my old neighborhood is getting organized now, it is so needed!

In June, dozens of tenants in Los Angeles went on utility strike — they refused to pay their utility bills and demanded the landlord provide transparency as to how the bills are counted.

Three months into the strike, the landlord returned more than $25,000 back to these tenants.
