UFCW Local 367 supports Initiative 1 because we believe that our members and all Tacoma residents deserve affordable housing. Initiative 1 will help tenants push back against excessive rent hikes and other predatory tactics committed by out-of-state, corporate landlords. The landlord lobby is pushing back and trying to get Tacomans to vote against their best interests – but we won’t let them! Our members are speaking up and voting YES on Citizens Initiative Measure No. 1 and a Tenants Bill of Rights! Join us and vote YES by November 7th!

Stop by the local on Halloween evening from 3 PM to 6 PM and join fellow 367 members as we celebrate Halloween with candy snacks and games! Family, friends and the community are welcome!
