We\u2019re here to change that \u2013building by building, block by block, portfolio by portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This starts with creating building-level, supermajority unions, like the recently-launched New York Apartments and Newcastle Apartments Tenant Unions, and several more launching this Spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s why we\u2019re building portfolio-wide tenant unions and laying the foundations for a citywide tenant union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"796\" src=\"https:\/\/tacomatenants.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NYA-Poster-Action-Steps-1024x796.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1048\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.286419409977271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacomatenants.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NYA-Poster-Action-Steps-1024x796.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tacomatenants.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NYA-Poster-Action-Steps-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacomatenants.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NYA-Poster-Action-Steps-768x597.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacomatenants.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NYA-Poster-Action-Steps-1536x1194.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tacomatenants.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NYA-Poster-Action-Steps-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/tacomatenants.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/NYA-Poster-Action-Steps.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>The role of TTOO<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tacoma Tenant Organizing and Outreach (TTOO) is the 501(c)3 nonprofit supporting Tacoma\u2019s emerging tenant union movement.
