Solidarity is our sword and shield ✊
Today was powerful. Our organisers met with comrades from the Belden Sawyer Tenant Association to share stories, strategies, and the unshakable belief that a better world is possible.

This change means shared labour, more support, and way more shared knowledge. It leaves 28 potential positions open for members to step up and lead. We're a member-run union, and our future is truly in our own hands.
A massive thank you to everyone who voted, this motion passed with 100% approval!

From now on, every Office Bearer role in the union can be held by two people. And in any shared role, one of them must be a woman or gender-diverse person. This is a direct move to tackle burnout and push back against the patriarchy we see everywhere else.

A real estate agency has proudly displayed a satirical image of an old man with the caption: “The young man who waited for the price of real estate to come down.” Right alongside their property listings. The irony is almost too much.
The housing crisis isn’t inevitable; it’s manufactured.
