Santa Barbara Tenants Union (SBTU)<\/b> is a membership funded and led Union for and by tenants living in Santa Barbara (City and County). We formed in early 2020 with the aim of building the largest possible network of tenant solidarity into and throughout the pandemic, knowing that the crisis we as tenants were already facing was about to get much worse. Our approach has been more similar to a labor union (solidarity) than like a service provider nonprofit (charity). This means we aim not just to give out free services to tenants in need; we aim to recruit tenants into the Union and develop them into active tenant leaders who can learn to educate, empower and recruit more members. The idea is to grow a mass active membership and movement so that eventually, housing actually is a human right, not just a catchy phrase. JOIN US!<\/a><\/p>\n

SBTU<\/b> is independent from big foundations, wealthy donors, political parties, and government grants. This means that all our decisions and actions come directly from members. Such independence prevents us from being easily co-opted by people whose interests may not necessarily align with ours (see here for more on this phenomenon<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We build tenant power by providing regular tenants rights education through tenants rights and organizing workshops and weekly <\/a>Tenant Help Desk <\/a> (Thursdays 6:00-7:00 pm); answering our tenant hotline and regular email inquiries; following organizing leads in multi-unit buildings; knocking doors and handing out flyers; tabling at events; attending rights and organizing trainings; helping tenants form tenant associations<\/a> in their apartment buildings; and engaging in political advocacy and direct action.<\/p>\n

SBTU is an affiliate of the Autonomous Tenants Union Network, which you can learn more about here<\/a>.

El Sindicato de Inquilinos de Santa B\u00e1rbara (SBTU) es un sindicato dirigido y financiado por miembros para y por inquilinos que viven en Santa B\u00e1rbara (ciudad y condado). Nos formamos a principios de 2020 con el objetivo de construir la red m\u00e1s grande posible de solidaridad de inquilinos durante la pandemia y durante toda ella, sabiendo que la crisis que nosotros, como inquilinos, ya est\u00e1bamos enfrentando, estaba a punto de empeorar mucho. Nuestro enfoque ha sido m\u00e1s parecido al de un sindicato (solidaridad) que al de una organizaci\u00f3n proveedora de servicios sin fines de lucro (caridad). Esto significa que nuestro objetivo no es s\u00f3lo brindar servicios gratuitos a los inquilinos que los necesitan; Nuestro objetivo es reclutar inquilinos para la Uni\u00f3n y convertirlos en l\u00edderes inquilinos activos que puedan aprender a educar, empoderar y reclutar m\u00e1s miembros. La idea es hacer crecer una membres\u00eda y un movimiento masivos y activos para que, eventualmente, la vivienda sea realmente un derecho humano, no solo una frase pegadiza. \u00a1\u00daNETE A NOSOTROS!<\/a><\/p>\n

SBTU es independiente de grandes fundaciones, donantes ricos, partidos pol\u00edticos y subvenciones gubernamentales. Esto significa que todas nuestras decisiones y acciones provienen directamente de los miembros. Tal independencia evita que seamos cooptados f\u00e1cilmente por personas cuyos intereses no necesariamente coinciden con los nuestros (ver aqu\u00ed para m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre este fen\u00f3meno<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Desarrollamos el poder de los inquilinos brindando educaci\u00f3n regular sobre los derechos de los inquilinos a trav\u00e9s de los derechos de los inquilinos y organizando talleres y una mesa de ayuda para inquilinos semanal<\/a> (jueves de 6:00 a 7:00 p. m.); responder a nuestra l\u00ednea directa para inquilinos y consultas peri\u00f3dicas por correo electr\u00f3nico; seguir pistas de organizaci\u00f3n en edificios de unidades m\u00faltiples; tocando puertas y repartiendo folletos; presentaci\u00f3n en eventos; asistir a derechos y organizar capacitaciones; ayudar a los inquilinos a formar asociaciones de inquilinos <\/a>en sus edificios de apartamentos; y participar en la promoci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica y la acci\u00f3n directa.<\/p>\n

SBTU es un afiliado de la Red de Sindicatos de Inquilinos Aut\u00f3nomos, sobre la cual puede obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
