Southwest Brooklyn Tenant Union
SWBTU, a project of CGA, is a tenant-led organization that seeks to build community amongst tenants to defend ourselves against displacement in the fight for affordable housing. We believe that we are stronger together, and we are committed to fighting alongside all tenants citywide through community organizing, direct action, organizational solidarity, and legislative advocacy.
Formed in response to increasing displacement pressure residents are facing, SWBTU works with members by connecting them with legal counseling, emotional support, organizing and direct action, media and political education, and mutual aid. The Union supports individual members fighting to remain in their homes while organizing collectively with allies including elected officials and community based organizations, for broader policy that will ensure the right to housing for ALL residents.
SWBTU meets every 4th Wednesday of the month at the Carroll Gardens Association, to keep in touch check out the SWBTU Facebook Page, email swbtu11231@gmail.com, or call 718-243-9301.
