The Belden Sawyer Tenant Association
formed on December 19, 2024 after our historic Logan Square apartment building was sold to corporate landlords who want us gone.
We are a democratic organization fighting to stay in our homes. We are working class retirees, doulas, restaurant workers, plumbers, artists, warehouse workers, parents, neighbors, and friends.
Our demands
1. Annual one-year lease renewals.
2. Reasonable rent to be negotiated with management by our tenant association.
3. No renovations. Our apartments are in excellent condition.
4. Ownership must negotiate in good faith with the Fuerzas Inquilinos de Broadway y Cuyler.
5. Evictions against striking members will be dropped and records of these evictions sealed.
What you can do
Talk to your alderperson
Email 35th ward alderman Anthony Quezada and tell him you don’t want big developers taking over Logan Square and pushing working class people out of the neighborhood.
While you’re at it, email YOUR alderperson and tell them the same thing.
