Building a citywide tenant union movement in 2026.

Tacoma tenants know enforcing their rights, creating community, and shifting power starts at home. 

That’s why renters are forming democratic, member-driven unions throughout the city… and taking the fight right to the slumlords.

Get organized with TTOO today and help build the citywide movement of tomorrow.

Today, your building! Tomorrow, the city!

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 –building by building, block by block, portfolio by portfolio.

This starts with creating building-level, supermajority unions, like the recently-launched New York Apartments Tenant Union ans several more launching this Spring.

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.
