Building Your Organizing Committee

As tenant leaders, one of the first steps in building real power in your building or neighborhood is forming a strong, grounded organizing committee. This training is designed for tenants who are ready to move from frustration to formation—turning conversations into coordination and taking the first steps toward a functioning tenant union.

In this session, we’ll break down:

• What an organizing committee is and why it serves as the backbone of any strong tenant union.

• The role of the organizing committee—from outreach and accountability to strategy and decision-making.

• How to plan effective meetings that move your union forward and build leadership along the way.

Whether you’ve already started talking with neighbors or you’re just getting your feet under you, this training will give you the tools and clarity to begin building a crew that can lead with purpose and power. We’ll talk about real-life examples, lessons learned from the field, and give you time to workshop ideas for your tenant union.

This is not just about having more meetings—it’s about building the structure needed to win.
