How Tenants Together volunteers support California tenants?  

Tenants Together volunteers have supported over 3,500 tenants to fight for their rights, and there is more work to be done. We have four different volunteer teams to join!

Helpline Team

• Offer peer-support and tenant rights information to those in crisis on the Statewide Tenants' Rights Helpline and/or at Virtual Tenant Clinic on zoom.
• We are in great need of bilingual English/Spanish speaking volunteers! Please consider volunteering if you speak English and Spanish fluently.
• One shift per week Monday-Thursday from 5:00 - 8:00pm or Friday from 1:00-4:00pm; ~12-15 hours per month of individual and collaborative work. Register to join the team! 

Data & Tech Team

We aim to help build an anti-racist, feminist, multiracial, anti-oppressive tenant movement. This means we do not tolerate racism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, islamophobia, classism, cis-sexism, or sexism. We also hope to continue working to make this virtual event, and our office, as accessible as possible to everyone who is interested in being part of the fight for housing justice.

We look forward to having you join the team!

In solidarity,

Knowledge Is Power Team
