Cypress Village

Residents of Cypress Village in West Oakland, one of the remaining two public housing developments (the other being Lockwood Gardens in East Oakland), are working on building a tenant union. Cypress is not under imminent threat of privatization, so there is both an opportunity and a need to organize now and push back against intentional neglect and mistreatment by the Oakland Housing Authority.

Residents and organizers rallied outside the Oakland Housing Authority office on Union on February 13th to deliver a petition with nearly 100 resident signatures
