This is a really old graphic I figured I might as well dust off and share in this period of intense tenant organizing. I originally made this in either 1995 or 96, and it has been produced as stickers, shirts, posters, and flyers over the years. More relevant than ever in an age when one of the few things truly valued under capitalism is property, and it is concentrated into fewer and fewer hands.
