City Council approved $13 million to buy new LAPD vehicles for the Olympics, despite tenants calling for money to be spent on supporting renters instead. So much for a “no cost” Olympics. No votes: Eunisses Hernandez Ysabel Jurado Nithya Raman
Good morning! Despite the high heat and humidity, our tenant leaders from multiple tenant unions are at city hall this morning sharing about all the high rent increases they’ve received recently. They demand rent relief, a rent freeze, eviction moratorium, and more rent control!

They're organizing alongside @ccedLA, and are starting with their local reps to get them to look out for their interests, including pushing for changes at the state level. thelareporter.la/p/the-la-re… xitter.cf/reporterliz/status/209…
I'm loving that the LA City Council is being scolded by elderly, low-income Chinatown tenants right now: "We work so hard for the majority of our lives, and to be able to peacefully have a place to sleep at night is something that is becoming increasingly more impossible."

The Hillside Villa case represents one of the longest-running rent strikes in recent Los Angeles history, occurring amid a broader housing crisis that resulted in more than 75,000 people experiencing homelessness in LA County last year. bit.ly/3Gf0bpr

After a difficult, historic, hard-fought five-year rent strike, the tenants of @hillside_villa won an monumental victory. Their landlord is canceling over $700,000 of rental debt for 20 tenants, and no one is getting evicted.

When we fight, we win. We didn't get eminent domain, but we got a deal that lets us stay in our homes.

One of the greatest tenant organizing victories in LA history—though not all demands were met, @hillside_villa’s 5+ years-long rent strike, supported by @LATenantsUnion @ccedLA, not only prevented evictions, but also won years of affordability, with tons of rent debt erased.

If you think you may come in contact with toxic air like tear gas we do recommend a P100 respirator with proper filters & goggles but if an N95 is all you have access to, wear one.

Look at the violence & terror brought on our community by LAPD pigs. Bootlickers are quick to blame protestors but it is the state who has a monopoly on violence. It is this fascist empire who makes our resistance necessary as they kidnap our neighbors off the street.

There are truly *hundreds* of LAPD pigs still clogging the streets of Little Tokyo like the vile cancer that they are. This is the police state in full effect.
The LAPD showing once again that it is nothing but a violent occupying force in Little Tokyo. ICE OUT OF LA. FUCK THE LAPD.

For the second day in a row, protesters disrupted the Border Patrol/DHS event in southwest Atlanta. Today, it was cancelled before it started. Less than 20 people made this happen. The system has weak-points. Target those. Let's not just wait for crowds to magically appear.
📍Atlanta, Metropolitan Goodwill On the second day of a multi-day Border Patrol/DHS hiring event at a Goodwill store in a black and latino neighborhood in southwest Atlanta, community members disrupted the event, chanting slogans and carrying this banner. Fight back.

It's pouring rain in LA - so bad that people's tents are collapsing. In a healthy society, there would be warming centers every couple blocks, with vans driving around taking people there, but instead, there is nothing. Just volunteers giving out tarp and tents until we run out.
