Join BSTA

Chicago — and indeed the whole United States — is in the midst of a tenant organizing renaissance. As rents spiral upward and corporate investors seize our housing, tenants are locking arms to protect our fundamental right to shelter.

In 2025, BSTA made history by launching Chicago’s longest rent strike in decades. We proved that when tenants stand together, we can fight — and win.

Now, we open membership to all Chicagoland tenants. Click the button below to get started.
