Working Class Tenants and Neighbors Unite!

Eugene Housing and Neighborhood Defense (HAND) is an organization in Eugene and Springfield Oregon dedicated to defending our neighbors from capitalist exploitation at the hands of landlords, developers, and other class enemies. We strive to engage and unite working people at one of our most important sites of struggle, our homes. To achieve this, we canvass door to-door, host public meetings and events, create educational material, coordinate mass actions, and organize neighbors to build tenant unions and networks.

We know that capitalism is the problem dragging working class people down and we must combat it not only in the workplace but in our neighborhoods as well. We can see from historical victories that when organized en masse, working people have the power to collectively halt evictions, rent hikes, housing discrimination, and so much more. Long term, we believe we can and will bring down the capitalist system and create a world where we can manage our housing together!
