What happened to you? I fought a retaliatory eviction and submitted firsthand reports of landlord and judicial misconduct, only to find that my elected representatives and judges are entrenched in a network of fraternal collusion that repeatedly undermines my rights.
What would you like to see happen?
I’d like to see a systematic review and mapping of every legal, policy, and advocacy option available to individuals facing retaliation—Organizers can draw on frameworks like Shelter force’s 6 steps to strong tenants’ rights. (2) I’d like to see people know exactly how to protect themselves and where to turn next.
How do you think others can help? I’ think others can help by not assuming that ready-made solutions exist and instead join tenant organizing efforts: share your own stories under anti-retaliation statutes, form or strengthen tenants’ associations, and support bills like California’s SB 529 “Right to Organize” model. Mate3.com helps to build collective leverage and independent advocacy for all victims of weak representation.
