ALT This is the era of renter power. A pair of hands holding up a book with the TTU logo above a collage of apartments, townhomes, and mobile homes, as well as the skyline of downtown Raleigh, NC.
ALT How it is now: A hand labeled "The Landlord" is about to strike a group of mobile homes, labeled "the tenants." Nobody knows each other. Problems don't get resolved. Management can pick off anyone they don't like (or don't want). People who have no issues think their neighbors don't either.
ALT How it can be: A large group of raised fists loom over the mobile homes, labeled "the tenant union." The fists scare away the hand labeled "the landlord." Everyone meets regularly and shares what's going on. When there's a problem, everyone comes together to make sure it gets fixed. Management has no choice but to accept demands.
ALT How to make it happen: 1. Talk to your neighbors. Ask: "If you could change one thing about living here, what would it be?" 2. Find your leaders Who is good at talking with people? Who has the free time to spend on this? 3. Make your demands. What issues do the most people have? What issues are the easiest to fix? 4. Inoculate. What are the consequences of organizing? What are the consequences of not organizing? 5. Action! How will you win these demands? How can you get everyone involved?
