Tenants are ON STRIKE at Putnam's historic Cargill Mill! The former cotton mill which was once the site of a textile workers strike is organized once again, this time by union tenants demanding lead remediation and recognition from their negligent landlord. Solidarity! ✊🏘️🌹

Our landlord, Leanne Parker (Historic Cargill Falls Mill LLC), just served notices to quit to several tenants waiting for lead abatement. This is retaliation against our wildcat rent strike and uncovering of systematic poisoning by lead and mold.

Tenant unions embody the democratic promise that working people can initiate change-from-below on the core issues shaping our lives. New op-ed from us on our priority legislation this year: ctmirror.org/2024/01/25/ct-…

Today, CT DSA was proud to rally with Cargill Tenants Union Union in their ongoing struggle for lead remediation & mold cleanup, and against retaliation to tenants on a historic rent strike. 🌹✊
