Tenants across Minneapolis & St. Paul are organizing citywide. Labor and tenant unions in Minneapolis and St. Paul, representing more than 25,900 members, announced a March 1 rent strike drive, vowing to show an unprecedented expression of economic power to ensure an eviction moratorium from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and a $50 million rent relief fund from the state legislature.

The purpose of the rent strike: create an economic disruption to get ICE out of the Twin Cities, provide an eviction moratorium - no evictions under occupation, provide rent relief and build solidarity amongst tenants.
