BUILDING A CITYWIDE TENANT UNION MOVEMENT
OUR VISION
Renters represent almost half of Tacoma’s 220,000 residents, yet have limited voice in our own homes, city politics, or the local economy.
We’re here to change that.

PORTFOLIO BY PORTFOLIO
This work starts with creating building-level, supermajority unions, like the recently launched Hoover Portfolio (New York, Newcastle and North Slope) Tenant Unions, and the McIlvaine Tenant Union.
But we must go further. We know that when organized, tenants will be a force to be reckoned with in Tacoma and throughout the region. That’s why we’re building portfolio-wide tenant unions and laying the foundations for a citywide tenant union.
Our goal is to launch several supermajority unions in 2026, develop member leaders throughout the city, and use our power to win major contracts and concessions. All of this will lead up to a founding citywide tenant union convention.
THE ROLE OF TTOO
Tacoma Tenant Organizing and Outreach (TTOO) is the 501(c)3 nonprofit supporting Tacoma’s emerging tenant union movement. Our Executive Director and small team connect tenant leaders with organizing, legal aid, and other resources to build majority unions and power throughout Tacoma and beyond!
