May Day Car Rally - Southern Towers Rent Strike

On International Workers Day, we are rallying in solidarity with hundreds of tenants at Southern Towers who are demanding their landlord cancel rent during the pandemic.

Our first action brought over 80 cars to show striking tenants that we are standing with them in this struggle. Many in the 2,300-unit complex have been laid off from service industry jobs and have not received unemployment. Join as they demand rent be cancelled, and that common areas be sanitized and kept safe for families during the pandemic.

If you plan to participate, please make signs with the following slogans for your car, as well as some extra to share with tenants when you arrive:
NO JOB? NO RENT!
NO FOOD? NO RENT!
CANCEL RENT!

Please enter off Seminary road and proceed to the right to the 7-11 inside the complex. Follow the procession of cars with signs. Do not take your own route through the complex. Stay with the group as they circle the complex. We will caravan to a second location, to be disclosed during the rally.
