SHARE YOUR HOUSING STORY

What has your experience been renting in Bellingham? We want to hear your story. Together we can expose slumlords, show how unaffordable rents destabilize our community, and make our case to the public why we must change laws to protect tenants. Don't worry, we'll reach out to you before we publish anything.

Tell Us Your Story

I'M A RENTER AND I VOTE

Renters tend to underrepresent in elections while homeowners overrepresent. Many of us forget to update our voter registration in the whirlwind of moving. WE CAN CHANGE THIS. TurboVote makes voting easy. Get text and email reminders about elections, register to vote, request a ballot, and more!

COME TO AN EVENT

We have a variety of events, whether it's fighting for tenant rights and speaking up together at City Council, or making decisions as a union at one of our General Membership Meetings.

MEMBERS: BECOME AN ORGANIZER, STEWARD, OR ELECTED LEADER

Members of the BTU can hold multiple roles (you are not limited to one) in the union: Stewards, Organizers, and Elected Leaders. All these roles are essential for a functioning and powerful union. 

The union is the sum of our members' contributions. The more involved our members are, the stronger the union is, and the more we can achieve: more wins, faster, bolder, and better.

Learn more about what Stewards, Organizers, and our Elected Leadership do and see if you want to become one!
