What Does ACTA DO?

Chicago to stand together and fight for control over our housing and our lives. Our aim is to build durable, rent strike ready, ideological tenant unions across the city of Chicago. This means building unions that believe in working class and tenant power and have the structure in place to use it.

In the neighborhoods, control means:

• Housing Control – Housing out of the hands of landlords and into the hands of the workers
• No Poverty Profiteering – No more politicians or capitalists getting rich off of people’s exploitation
• Neighborhood Self-Determination – The people determine the future of our own neighborhoods—not corporations, out-of-state investors, or greedy slumlords

To win this we have built a dedicated, militant group of organizers prepared to bring the fight to your landlord. 

How does this work?

We’ll come to your building and help put together a Tenant Union, an organization that can demand more from the landlord and back it up. Over the last two years this strategy has been proven. ACTA unions have carried out protests and rent strikes in response to arrogant slumlords.   

As landlords and capitalists intensify their exploitation in our city and around the world, working people will be the first to suffer. Be a part of the movement that meets these challenges head on: contact ACTA today.
