Springfield Tenants Unite

At the beginning of this week, we gathered with our community for the launch of our public Right to Counsel campaign.

With the backdrop of the eviction crisis and its impact on our city, including who is most affected and the power players who benefit from this harmful system, we dove deep into what it will take to ensure Springfield tenants have equal legal representation. There was undeniable power in the room on Monday night, and we know our path to victory is clear when we band together to protect our neighbors.

Stay tuned: We have more Right to Counsel events this summer and are just getting started! 🐝

Most landlords have a lawyer. Most tenants don't.

In 2025, 2,300 Springfield households faced eviction – alone, outgunned, and up against a lawyer. Even more astounding, 40% of all those evicted are Springfield kids.

The system is stacked against everyday people and slumlords are fighting to keep the status quo, but Springfield families deserve a fighting chance!

Join us for a May Mass Meeting on Monday, May 11 to learn more about Springfield’s eviction crisis and who benefits most from the unjust system in place, and hear from the families and youth leading the charge to fight back!

In this powerful evening, there will be educational and empowering opportunities for everyone:

🐝 Eviction court watch
🐝 Share your story
🐝 Art build
🐝 Letter writing
🐝 Prep to meet with city leaders
🐝 Fundraising and more
