In the last few weeks, we have had a lot to do with organizing around the Heimstaden deal, and there has also been a lot of media coverage. But the actual union initiative is also increasingly finding a place in the public debate. Here you can find a small excerpt of the media reports that appeared in October and November about our initiative. From classic press articles to podcasts, there is something for everyone to learn more about our work (listed chronologically):

Artikel im Neuen Deutschland (ND)
17.10.2020
“Refuse rent, dismissal into the toilet”: We don’t imagine it to be that simple, but the article goes beyond that: Our press spokeswoman Olga talked to ND about our goals, ideas and impulses for founding a tenants’ union. In the course of the article, it also becomes clear that especially the established and large unions have problems with our project (like the Verdi spokesman mentioned) – perhaps this is also due to the fact that they still do not have the topic of housing on their agenda.
