On October 17, 2021, we made a joint fist with a broad coalition. More and more people, young and old, tenants and buyers, are being affected by the housing crisis. It is high time for a radically different housing policy. After half a year full of national and local housing campaigns, the Woonopstand will continue as a national coalition in which all housing campaign groups work closely together.
On November 11, the Rotterdam city council adopted a motion requesting the municipal council to 'evaluate in dialogue' the police actions during the Woonuprising demonstration on October 17 with the organization of the demonstration.
We are astonished at the course of the debate that took place on 4 November about the police action during the Residential Revolt demonstration on 17 October. Fifteen protesters spoke and shared their often emotional story about the absurd, reprehensible and violent police action.
Today Woonopstand presents a black book with statements and images of victims and witnesses of the absurd, reprehensible and violent police action during the demonstration in Rotterdam on 17 October. We condemn the excessive police action and demand that Mayor Aboutaleb initiate an independent external investigation.

The Woonopstand will continue as a national coalition in which various housing action groups from all over the country are affiliated. We will continue to organize and support actions and initiatives, and have therefore decided to return the donation form to our site. Support the national housing movement Woonopstand with a donation and ensure that we can continue to commit ourselves to a radically different housing policy!
The #WOONOPSTAND is a broad coalition of (residential) struggle movements, action groups and organizations that work together from the bottom up to radically change housing policy.
On March 28, 2020, we jointly organized the national demonstration 'Houses for People, Not for Profit' which was postponed due to the corona pandemic. We called on the cabinet and landlords, among other things, to stop evictions and rent reductions because of the additional negative consequences of homelessness during a pandemic.
On October 17, 2021, the coalition again organized a national demonstration “Residential Rebellion” in Rotterdam and we showed solidarity with various housing demonstrations and tenant campaigns in the Netherlands.
Do you agree with our views and working method? Then let us know! We would like to continue and expand the Woonopstand coalition and ask if you would also like to participate in this. Because we are stronger together than alone. Are you organizing a (living) action soon and do you need our solidarity? Register your action with us now, then we will post it on our website and socials!
We call on everyone to show solidarity and fight together for our housing future.

A broad movement of activist groups and organizations from all over the country will protest in various places in the country for a better housing policy in the coming period. Now is the time to demand change: the new cabinet is coming and local politicians are preparing for the municipal elections in March 2022.
