Additional Resources
These zines were created to make tenant organizing more accessible to everyone in the state, regardless if they want to work with HOME Line or one of our many partners. The content in the zines was initially written as a part of The Minnesota Renter’s Guide to Tenant Organizing published by Housing Justice Center and HOME Line in 2024. If you are interested in accessing the entire guide please see the link below.
