Dear Community,

This is the year we make our dream of establishing an office a reality and we are propelled by the love we have for collective tenant power. So, starting this February, we are declaring our deep love and commitment to our neighborhood of Ridgewood.

What makes our neighborhood beautiful? It’s the people! And our neighbors deserve to stay in the place they call home.

Our tenants’ union also needs a home of its own. One where we can form a strong base of tenants that are unified under one mission: building power with our neighbors to fight displacement.

Many of our members know that keeping a roof over one’s head is becoming more difficult as rent prices surge in Ridgewood. In establishing a homebase, we’ll be better equipped to organize and build tenant power to fight back against evictions, harassment, bad conditions, and displacement.

To make that dream a reality, we are raising the funds necessary to establish an office and thinking through other fundraising strategies. In the following months, we’ll need all hands on deck to reach our goal.

This is how you can help us make our vision a reality:

• Give what you can today to our Givebutter campaign
• Share our Instagram fundraising posts with your networks: @ridgewoodtenantsunion
• Help organize a fundraiser to help us raise funds

Thank you, neighbors! We value your support and look forward to strengthening our collective power!

Sincerely,

Ridgewood Tenants Union
