WORCESTER

Organize THAW is an organization of tenants and workers in the Worcester area, united to empower tenants and end the exploitation of rent. We see the wave of high rents expanding out from Boston and development in the city as a threat to working-class tenants in Worcester, who are caught between displacement and slumlords who... We believe in building a mass movement of tenants and working class people with the power to decommodify housing. We want to bring housing under the control of the people who live in it. By building relationships with our neighbors we create tenant unions and neighborhood councils, which are collectively strong enough to pressure landlords to lower rents, make repairs, and stop evictions.
