vision and values

we demand:

AN END TO EVICTIONS IN OUR CITY

A CAP ON EXTORTIONATE RENTS

HIGHER QUALITY RENTAL HOUSING

MORE COUNCIL HOUSING

SAFE SHELTER FOR EVERYONE

Solidarity

We have solidarity with one another no matter what. We will not be divided and we always act with good faith towards each other.

Democracy

We are a democratic organisation, and everyone's viewpoint is valued equally. Our committees are elected from the mass membership by the mass membership, and all their legitimacy is derived from this mandate. The core of active union organisers is subordinated to the needs and democratic will of the mass membership in this way.

Equality

We take an active stance against all forms of oppression, including racism, homophobia, gender-based oppression, ableism, and so on. We recognise that these forms of oppression are not just a byproduct of capitalism but in fact are integral to its function.

Organisation

Our goal is to get every tenant in the SO postal area organised if we can, and to have an active branch in every postal district that local residents can depend upon and participate in.

Investigation

We do not speak or act on any matter without first knowing what we're talking about. We investigate the issues faced by our members thoroughly in order to thoroughly resolve them; our members and non-member tenants deserve the utmost. We also proactively seek to analyse and understand the relief of the struggle against rental exploitation in our city and contextualise that local struggle nationally and internationally.
