The We The Tenants campaign is a grassroots organizing campaign, supported by Action St. Louis and Arch City Defenders. Before having a name, the campaign found its start in 2021, with renters, organizers, and lawyers, gathering to host a community town hall with the purpose of addressing the many issues renters faced through the pandemic. We are a community of renters, organizers, and advocates, building a movement to transform St. Louis from a region that enables landlords and developers to exploit residents, to a place where everyone has safe and stable housing.
In 2019, Action St. Louis began its BOSS Organizing Summer School in order to build a sustainable pipeline of organizers in the region.
