Join the Three Black Cats Tenant Association, a building committee of BSTA, as we rally against Chicago’s surging rent, and the invasive takeover of Logan Square housing.

Longtime residents of Three Black Cats’s Logan Square building are facing displacement due to the prospective sale of their building. Paired with a steep increase in rent, these tenants would be priced out of the homes they’ve lived in for years, even if they were given the opportunity to stay.

This situation has become far too common across all of Chicago, and is a primary contributor to the housing crisis plaguing the city. Enough is enough. Our city deserves better.

Don't sit at home and stare at the wall;
Come on up and let's have a ball! at-

Inspired by the Rent Parties of the Harlem Renaissance, organized by the community to help tenants struggling to pay rent. Landlords discriminated against Black Tenants, fixing their rents at a significantly higher rate compared to white tenants. Combined with discriminatory wages, many in the community struggled to afford their basic housing. These parties charged an admission to help the hosts cover the difference for the unjust rent inflation.
