Community Action Tenants Union
Community Action Tenants Union is a national tenants' union in Ireland. Established in 2019,[2] it is a mass membership organisation of "renters, council tenants, mortgage holders and people in emergency & precarious living situations".[3] CATU is affiliated to ACORN International.[4] StructureCATU members are organised in local branches across the island of Ireland,[5] with committees elected by local members. A national committee coordinates the work of local branches.[1] CATU organises campaigns at local and national level, and its work is grounded in principles of direct action.[6][7] Modelled after other ACORN International affiliated tenants' unions such as Scottish Living Rent, CATU was influenced by the work of the National Association of Tenants Organisations (NATO),[8] which represented tenants in Ireland in the sixties and the seventies, famously leading a national rent strike from 1970 to 1973.[9] References
