How San Diego Tenants Went on Strike Over Their Utility Bills – and Won

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

The tenants at the La Suzanna building in San Diego were recently hit with a massive increase to their cost of living. The landlord brought down on them a “change” to the way they would be billed. This scheme is referred to as RUBS, or “ratio utility billing system”, and it’s just another way for landlords to squeeze blood from a stone, separating utility costs from the rent and passing the burden of payment onto the tenants. Some tenants in the building reported their utilities going up from $60 per month to over $450!

So what did the tenants do? They fought back by first going on RUBS Strike, a tactic we’ve seen play out in numerous locations across the country. The landlord retaliated by sending them a nearly $4000 bill for trash collection! The tenants negotiated but the terms were far more favorable to the landlord and they were ultimately rejected. The tenants then got in touch with the Tenant Councils of San Diego, an ETOC cadre tenant union, and formed a tenants’ association, the La Suzanna Tenant Council.

Finally able to negotiate collectively, they got the utilities capped at $100 per month in a year-long agreement. However, the flight clearly doesn’t end there as future negotiations will likely push for more utility money year over year. This shows the need for sustained, politicized tenant unions and communities of strong solidarity in our buildings; just the kind of thing you’ll get at the ETOC cohort training sessions!

The Mediterranean sun beat down upon the dusty limestone streets of Jerusalem, casting sharp shadows across a city fractured by imperial occupation, grinding poverty, and rigid social stratification. On the surface, the Roman peace—the Pax Romana—reigned supreme. But beneath that veneer lay a harsh economic reality: wealth was concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite, temple elites exacted heavy tributes, and the margins of society were choked with day laborers, widows, and orphans always on the brink of starvation.

Yet, among a clandestine gathering of believers who had recently embraced the resurrected Galilean teacher, a radically different world was being born.

Luke, recording these events in the Book of Acts, captures a moment in human history where the fundamental rules of survival were rewritten. Standing in the courtyard, watching these Jesus followers unburden themselves of their deeds, scrolls, and surplus wealth, one could hear the quiet hum of a new social order taking shape. This was not merely a spiritual revival; it was an embryonic blueprint for a democratic socialist society.

The Abolition of Destitution: Reclaiming the Commons

To walk among the early Jerusalem believers was to witness something entirely alien to the ancient world: the total eradication of destitution. Luke writes in Acts 4:34–35:

There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

When property owners liquidated their estates, they were enacting structural redistribution. As Luke notes, “no one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but everything was held in common” (Acts 4:32). In modern political economy, this mirrors the core tenets of democratic socialism: the belief that the material prerequisites of life—housing, food, security—are human rights, and that surplus capital must answer to human need rather than private hoarding. The Jerusalem church instituted a micro-economy where wealth was stripped of its power to oppress, ensuring that basic human dignity was guaranteed for every member of the community.

Participatory Democracy and the Feminist Critique:

Solving the Crisis of Equity

Eventually, every radical movement faces an administrative crucible, and the early church was no exception. As the community grew, cracks began to show. In Acts 6:1–7, a serious crisis of equity erupted: the Hellenistic (Greek-speaking) Jewish widows were being systematically overlooked in the daily distribution of food in favor of the Hebrew widows.

In any other ancient institution, this administrative failure would have been handled from the top down by an autocratic ruler issuing decrees. But the apostles’ response anticipated the core mechanisms of participatory democracy.

They did not hide behind closed doors to draft a corporate fix. Instead, as Acts 6:2 records, “the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples.” They brought the systemic failure directly to the people, acknowledging that administrative power belonged to the community. They established a transparent, democratic process:

• Decentralization of Power: Authority was shared rather than hoarded at the top.
• Community Vetting: The broader assembly was tasked with selecting leaders from among themselves—traditionally recorded as men of good repute, full of the Spirit and wisdom—to manage the communal treasury and welfare distribution.
• Accountability: The newly appointed administrators were directly accountable to the public they served.

However, a critical historical and feminist lens—championed by contemporary theologians and scholars such as Meggan Watterson—forces us to look closer at who was actually doing the heavy lifting of survival and community care. Watterson’s work on alternative and marginalized early Christian texts (such as Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself) underscores how patriarchal structures often whitewashed or edited out the active, frontline leadership of women.

While the canonical text of Acts tells us that male deacons were appointed to solve the Greek-speaking widows’ crisis, feminist biblical scholarship suggests that women were the vital connective tissue of these early house-church economies. They were the ones hospitality-girding, networking, and sustaining communal life on the ground. The actual survival of the community depended heavily on women’s unrecognized or under-reported labor. The distribution to widows was not merely a top-down handout managed by men, but a grassroots crisis solved because marginalized voices—the neglected Hellenistic widows—refused to be rendered invisible and demanded systemic equity.

Voluntary Association vs. Coercion: The Philosophical Bridge

Critics often point out a fundamental tension when comparing the Jerusalem church to modern democratic socialism: the early believers operated through voluntary spiritual devotion, whereas modern socialism often utilizes state legislation, public policy, and taxation to achieve equity.

There was no Roman legion, no temple police, and no state decree forcing citizens to liquidate their assets. The redistribution in Acts was entirely voluntary. 

Yet, despite the difference in enforcement mechanisms, both systems seek to move human society away from a predatory, survival-of-the-fittest ethos toward a cooperative commonwealth. While democratic socialists use the lever of the democratic state to shield citizens from the predations of unregulated capital, the early church used the power of communal solidarity to achieve that same goal: a society where no one is left behind to suffer the indignity of poverty.

The Messy Reality of Commune Life: Ideals vs. Unfinished Chores

It is easy to romanticize the Book of Acts as a utopian snapshot of a society where everyone lived in frictionless harmony. But anyone who has ever been in an intentional community or a cooperative knows that political alignment does not automatically erase human friction. Any commune member can readily testify to the corrosive power of unwashed dishes, passive-aggressive chore wheels, and ego clashes to erode solidarity—even when every member is on the same political and ideological page.

A broader reading of the Christian Bible shows that the early church was plagued by these same dysfunctions. The letters of Paul to the Corinthians, Galatians, and Romans reveal communities riven by squabbles, socioeconomic elitism (even during the communal Love Feasts or Lord’s Suppers), petty power struggles, and failed attempts at radical solidarity. The Jerusalem church itself eventually suffered severe economic collapse, requiring Paul to spend years organizing a massive international collection across the Gentile churches to bail out the impoverished Jerusalem believers.

The radical sharing depicted in Acts was a messy, high-stakes experiment in human cooperation. The fact that it often fractured under the weight of human selfishness and administrative strain does not invalidate its democratic socialist principles. Rather, it humanizes them. It shows that economic justice is not an automatic spiritual state but a daily, difficult practice of negotiation, accountability, and grace.

From Capitalism to Community

The narrative preserved in the Book of Acts remains a powerful historical and moral provocation. Long before Karl Marx penned his critiques of industrial capitalism or modern democratic socialists campaigned for universal healthcare and housing, a small band of believers in Jerusalem proved that human beings could organize their economic lives around equity, shared labor, and radical care—even if the housekeeping, the gender exclusions, and the internal squabbles made it infinitely more complicated than the highlight reel suggests.

Whether viewed through the lens of divine intervention or sociopolitical history, the early church blueprint challenges every modern economy to answer a timeless, haunting question: Why should anyone suffer in need when there is more than enough to go around?

Reportback: Bay Resistance Coalition

Last Tuesday, September 29th, DSA SF joined several organizations in the Bay Resistance Coalition to protest at the OpenAI conference. Sam Altman was the main speaker. We were out there to protest OpenAI’s complicity with ICE, their technical support to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and their role in the climate crisis through the continued use of data centers. We also demanded that OpenAI pledge to protect democracy should the Trump administration attempt a fascist takeover of the election. People Over Profit and billionaires were also our main slogans. The protest was very successful and drew media attention with coverage appearing on social media, local news stations, Democracy Now, Al Jazeera, just to name a few. 
Thank you to the electoral board and steering for supporting this action and also to those DSA members who were able to make it out to this early morning protest. DSA SF will continue to join in with other Bay Resistance coalition members to fight against any fascist and oligarch takeover of our government that want to silence the voice of the working class.  Stay tuned for more information regarding other actions that are needed in the event that the upcoming election is stolen or thrown into chaos.

BOO, comrade! An extra-spooky Halloween edition of Pinellas DSA Chapter Notes is here!

We hit another exciting milestone in September — our chapter is now officially more than 400 members strong! That’s 400 friends and neighbors who’ve made the choice to stand up and say “I believe that a better world is possible.” And, as long as we keep doing the day-to-day work of building our organization and growing the international movement for socialism, we will transform possible into inevitable.

Read on to learn more about what our chapter was up to over the last month, and what we have coming up next!

September Highlights

September was a month of steady progress for our ongoing campaigns. Perhaps the biggest development came early in the month when DSA comrades behind the Dump Duke campaign held a press conference in Williams Park to announce the launch of a petition campaign to place an amendment for public power on the 2028 ballot.

Meanwhile, organizers behind the No on 3 initiative wasted no time, launching a series of door-to-door canvasses, lit drops, and more to get the word out about the threat Amendment 3 poses to our communities. We also established a social media presence for our DeFlock St. Pete campaign, which has already seen a major win with a new business item in front of the St. Pete City Council, introduced by Councilmember and DSA comrade Richie Floyd, to allow for the discussion of the city’s Flock contract.

We also published the first in a fantastic new series of videos from our International Solidarity Working Group, with the aim of educating the masses on the legacy of US imperialism in the Caribbean. Check it out on the official Pinellas DSA YouTube channel (and subscribe while you’re at it)!

Lastly, we want to also spotlight the Pinellas DSA blog, which is where you can find updates and official statements published on behalf of the chapter. We’re also accepting submissions for the blog from any active member in good standing; email us at dsa.pinellas@gmail.com if you’d like to pitch your article!

CAMPAIGN UPDATE: Dump Duke

On September 2, Pinellas DSA members held a press conference to announce the launch of a petition campaign to place a charter amendment on the 2028 ballot. If successful, the initiative would give St. Pete voters the opportunity to decide whether the city should establish a publicly owned electric utility.

The event, which was held in Williams Park — directly across the street from Duke Energy headquarters — was also the official launch of Public Power St. Pete, a coalition aimed at advancing the #DumpDuke mission. Besides Pinellas DSA, other coalition members include the CLEO Institute, Sierra Club Suncoast Group, Florida Youth Action Fund, People Power for Florida, and Florida Rising.

At the heart of this campaign is a simple goal: making electricity more affordable, reliable, and locally controlled for St. Pete residents. It won’t be easy, though: organizers will need to collect 16,200 petitions with verified signatures from St. Pete voters, with the aim to secure over 20,000 signatures.

Learn more about the petition drive here

CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DeFlock St. Pete

As mentioned above, Councilmember Richie Floyd introducing a business item during a meeting of the St. Pete City Council at the end of August to allow for the discussion of the city’s Flock contract. Specifically, how we can eliminate it.

You might reasonably assume that this initiative would see pushback from at least a few of the council’s more conservative members. However, St. Pete City Council voted unanimously to pass this item, and advance the discussion to the city’s Public Services & Infrastructure Committee. Richie sits on the committee, as do Councilmembers Hanewicz, Harting, and Gerdes.

Organizers with the DeFlock St. Pete campaign are asking anyone who is “passionate about preventing our little slice of Florida from becoming part of the surveillance state” to reach out to the three committee members in question, thank them for backing Richie’s business item, and let them know that you want to #DeFlockStPete! You can reach the officials in question using the contact information provided below:

• Mike Harting: mike.harting@stpete.org | (727) 551–3305
• Lisset Hanewicz: lisset.hanewicz@stpete.org | (727) 893–7412

CAMPAIGN UPDATE: No on 3

Organizers behind the No on 3 campaign hit the ground running last month, launching into a series of door-to-door canvasses, lit drops, and “public service stakeouts” to rally Pinellas residents to defeat Amendment 3 on the November ballot.

If Amendment 3 passes, Pinellas County residents will suffer from millions of dollars in public funding cuts each year, impacting EMS, fire and rescue, flood mitigation, infrastructure repair, libraries, parks, public transit, and more. This campaign was spun up on short notice, withe less than three months to get the word out. But, organizers have done a phenomenal job so far!
