THINGS TO KNOW

Why do we collect dues?

As a tenant-driven movement, TANC relies on its own members to fund ongoing expenses. These include meeting supplies, educational materials, funds for community events, direct actions, supporting rent strikes, and mobilizations. We regularly spend money on banner-making supplies, meeting space rentals, and printing costs, etc. 

Who can become a member?

All tenants are welcome to become TANC members. We define “tenant” as anyone who does not own their home and does not have power over any other person’s housing situation. We see no distinction between the housed and the unhoused. Homeowners and land trust members can be non-voting members. Landlords and their agents are not eligible to become TANC members. 

Before signing up, please read TANC’s Platform. All members should find general agreement with it. 

COVID-19 Pandemic: 

During this trying time, we need to have each other’s back. We’ve added an extra space below for information about how the pandemic is affecting you; this can be helpful for possible mutual aid, and especially for organizing in this moment.
