LA needs affordable homes, not another rent hike.

CA is in an affordable housing crisis yet funding for homes through the state’s climate program has been nearly wiped out, potentially impacting 177 projects statewide.

CA students shouldn’t have to choose between tuition, food and rent.
Skyrocketing housing costs are pushing students into overcrowded homes, long commutes and housing insecurity. Affordable housing is an education issue, too.

Renters shouldn’t have to pay an application fee just to find out their pet isn’t allowed. #SB1296 would require CA landlords to disclose pet policies upfront, before renters spend money applying for a home. Basic transparency shouldn’t be too much to ask!

Rent is already too damn high. Renters shouldn’t get nickel-and-dimed by junk fees on top of it.
States and cities have the power to crack down on hidden and excessive rental fees and protect tenants where federal law falls short.

Her proposal would bar evictions unless a tenant owes more than one month of fair market rent, helping prevent needless displacement.

#LaborDay is a reminder that the rights we have were won because working people organized & fought for them.
That same collective power lives in the tenant movement. When workers & tenants organize, we can win safe, affordable homes, fair working conditions, and communities that work for all of us✊
