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.
Woonopstand was astonished to learn of the violent police actions in Amsterdam and Utrecht against its own students and teachers. They peacefully protested against the ties of the University of Amsterdam and Utrecht University with academic institutions in Israel. The demonstrators rightly demand that Dutch universities do this
Woonopstand consists of a national coalition to which various housing action groups from all over the country are affiliated. We support and co-organize actions and initiatives throughout the country, and we can always use more help with that. Would you like to volunteer a few hours per week or per month to participate in the housing movement?
Hey you!
Can't find an affordable home either?
Do you also find the current housing policy scandalous?
Did you know that in the Netherlands there are now more than 25,000 people without a home?

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.
read here all our requirements back with extensive explanation!
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.
