Update Online Tenant Union Handbook

Addressing questions and unfinished edits

We will likely be using the Tenant Union Handbook during our TU Town Halls and it would be nice to offer a good version via QR code on our flyers/posters. It would be a small credibility boost and maybe increase people’s chances of coming.

Here is the link to the Google Doc again. @Bozzii @SeanHun @NoraG @ChristinaCherif have left comments/questions there already. If there’s a section you want to tackle, please work with them to finish updating it.

The original Google Doc is here. Our goal is to transfer the document from Docs to this forum thread so we can provide tenants with a clean document.

Please sign up for one chapter at a time. The main challenge is that we don’t have the same formatting options as Docs on the forum; we have to use Markdown. You can read about how to use Markdown here. Most of the necessary commands are in the toolbar above the text box.

If you have questions about a chapter, please reach out to the member who worked on it or leave a reply in this thread:

  • Chapter 1: Basma

I am reopening this thread/task.

We rushed an initial draft of our tenant union handbook posted for our outreach to CalVilla tenants. However, there are still a few areas in the original Google Doc where we need to research certain sections. Since we will be using some of this information during the Tenant Union Town Halls, and maybe we include it as a part of our initial outreach to convince people to come to the town hall, I think we should try to fix this up before mid-April at the latest.

I’m going to update the original post (top of this thread) with a new Task Table.
