We are
the All-Chicago
Tenant Alliance
The All-Chicago Tenant Alliance is an organization made up of Chicago tenant unions and tenants. We look to build durable tenant unions across the city which are prepared to defend themselves from exploitation and abuse while building power for an offensive movement against the dominance of landlords. A world without landlords is possible.

Support chicago’s tenant movement
Rent Strike Fund
Contribute to ACTA’s rent strike fund to support Chicago tenant unions on strike.
Rent money that is withheld from the landlord during a strike is not ‘spending money’ for tenants. It accumulates in a pot and serves as the tenants’ leverage. The ACTA Rent Strike fund is a pool of money donated by tenants and organizers to cover the risk tenants take when going on rent strike. This money will only go towards legal fees and support for tenants who have engaged in a rent strike. The most significant benefit of a strike fund is the insurance it gives us in the event of defeat: court fees. If the tenants have to back down, the fund will support any costs they incur.
If you are considering going on strike with your tenant union, contact us for more information about the fund.
