CATU Ireland

CATU Ireland Winter Fundraiser 2025 Winter is the hardest time of year for many in our communities - and it’s also when the work of CATU becomes most urgent. No one should face eviction, intimidation, or housing insecurity during the darkest months of the year. As a grassroots tenants and community union, we rely entirely on the support of ordinary people to keep our organising strong. This Christmas you can donate to the work of CATU Ireland. We are focused on making sure everyone has a safe secure home and fighting landlords who mistreat people in our communities. What your support will resource: Preventing cruel Christmas/Winter evictions - We need to be fully resourced to respond quickly and effectively when members face the threat of losing their homes. Your donation strengthens our ability to organise direct action, resist evictions and keep families safe and housed. Growing island-wide campaigns in 2026 - In July, CATU held a hugely successful National Housing Demonstration, bringing people together from across the island to demand real change. We want to build on this momentum in 2026 by scaling up our campaigns and widening our reach in communities across Ireland. Funding essential union materials - Leaflets, posters, banners, meeting rooms, travel costs: these basics are the backbone of effective organising. Why this fundraiser matters: Landlords, developers, and the state have deep pockets. CATU doesn’t. What we have is people - neighbours looking out for one another, communities standing together, and members who refuse to accept a housing system that treats people as disposable. Your donation directly powers member support, campaign organising, and the day-to-day work of building a strong, active tenants union across Ireland. Contribute what you can, spread the word, and help make sure everyone in our communities has a safe and secure home this winter - and every winter.
