A Manifesto for Renters

Renters deserve better. That begins with us recognizing our power and our agency.

Renters are not the servile class. We are not a lower class of people.

You are an adult if you have a home and you pay for it. It doesn’t matter if you own it or not. Stop seeing yourself as someone who is less.

Living life on our own terms is the goal. That may or may not end with owning a home. You are still an adult regardless, and you deserve to be treated right.

We are owners of our time, our energy, our mobility, our flexibility. That counts.

We have to reach for our ideal home, even if we’re renters. We deserve it.
