Across rural Missouri, tenants face moldy ceilings, unfair rent hikes, and investor landlords that benefit from no one pushing back. But when neighbors get organized, they can win repairs, stop harassment, and make housing safer and more affordable for everyone.
Empower Missouri created “Standing Together: A Simple Guide to Tenant Organizing in Small Towns and Rural Missouri” to help Missouri tenants take that first step. This guide isn’t just a list of tips—it’s a tested roadmap for building power together.
We believe that every person has a stake in housing justice and that every tenant has the right to a safe, affordable, dignified place to call home. Our families, communities, and future are worth fighting for, and the future is bright when we stand side by side.
Because we know this information is powerful, we want to make sure that it goes directly to the tenants who need it most. We’re inviting interested tenants to submit their information below to receive access to the guidebook.
When we stand together, we can change what is possible.
