The Autonomous Tenants Union (ATU) is an all-volunteer political organization committed to organizing from below and to the left. ATU is committed to an anti capitalist, anti racist, feminist, abolitionist, and working class theoretical and practical organizing model focused on intersectional justice. As a horizontal collective we take and enforce our rights and do collective casework to strategize how we will do so. We believe in an abolition of private property, an end to all of evictions, access to dignified housing, community control, empowerment of tenants, highlighting the voices of those who have been historically excluded, and an end to exploitative relationships.
