The SacBee is calling out the 5 assemblymembers who couldn't even be bothered to vote on AB 1157, the #AffordableRentAct: @AsmPacheco, @AsmDianePapan, @Stefani4CA, @RickChavezZbur, and @BauerKahan. Ridiculous that we have to remind these elected officials how to do their jobs and who they ACTUALLY represent: their constituents, NOT the corporate landlords. sacbee.com/opinion/article31…

This is not a moment — this is a MOVEMENT. 💥 #AB1157 is now a two-year bill. While this is a temporary delay in our victory, our campaign remains strong and active✊ 🎉 In just a few months, we’ve gained legislative champions, media attention, and mobilized thousands of tenants. Meanwhile, the landlord lobby showed their true colors by faking opposition and exploiting our elders. It’s corporations vs. PEOPLE POWER🗣️ …And we know we’re on the right side. 📈 Other tenant bills are still moving this year, such as a bill to end junk fees from landlords (AB 1248), banning the use of AI price-rigging algorithms that raise rents (SB 52), and making it easier for tenants to stop evictions (SB 436). In the next 8 months, we’re building power district-by-district to #LowerTheRent for California’s 17 million renters. From local neighborhoods to entire districts, we’re organizing on the ground, talking to renters face-to-face, and growing a movement that cannot be ignored📣 Join us! @PICOcalifornia @CalOrganize @powercaaction @aapiforce @unitehere11 @BlkPowerNetwork @publicadvocates

We have marched to the building of the California Apartment Association with the message: 🚫 CAA GREED! We are tired of corporate landlords mooching off our backs and continuing to maximize their profits while working class Californians suffer. NO MORE GREED. HOUSING NOW!

Tenants are making their demands impossible to ignore. Nearly 1,000 renters, union members, and faith leaders are at the Capitol in Sacramento today demanding legislators pass the Affordable Rent Act #AB1157. Story on @nbcbayarea: nbcbayarea.com/news/local/ra…

1. Here's the moment the #AffordableRentAct passed the Housing and Community Development Committee! We faced a flood of corporate $$$ and lobbyists, but our movement is stronger. The people are speaking, and we’re being heard. Let’s keep the momentum going! #AB1157

📞 Call Governor @GavinNewsom and Speaker @RobertRivas_CA and urge them to support the #AffordableRentAct #AB1157

Pass the #AffordableRentAct! For every 100 ppl who escaped homelessness in 2024, 118 more fell into it. We can’t solve this crisis without addressing the rent hikes that drive people out of their homes. Thank you to @Ash_Kalra for authoring this bill! #AB1157
