[People's Action @PplsAction]

🏘️Tenant organizers with our #HomesGuarantee campaign shaped this policy for the better–this announcement is a potential step forward, AND we need the White House to do more to provide relief to tenants.

[Community Voices Heard @CVHaction]

Today, @WhiteHouse announced new actions to protect renters–this is thanks to organizing from #HomesGuarantee tenant leaders, including CVH members who went to DC w/ @PplsAction.

It's a solid start, but we still need rent regulations & tenant protections. https://t.co/LIwhHGeGVZ

[Congressman Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman]

Today, following a letter that @SenWarren and I led to the White House and months of tenant advocacy, we are seeing @POTUS take the first steps toward reining in a rental market that prioritizes people over profits. Check it out ⬇️ https://t.co/rpMOb0DoUa

Leaders in the video led townhalls, prayer vigils, gave public comments, and have been using their voices to shift power in this city, move housing off the privatized market, and into the hands of the community. The fight is not over, not for Trails End or Fresno.

ICYMI: Thank you to @VICENews who covered the hard work, community power, and courage of the residents at TE mobile home park.

[Leadership Counsel @LCJandA]

This year’s @CityofFresno annual budget process must be transparent, meaningful, inclusive, and responsive to ensure equitable investments for all Fresnans regardless of zip code, income, race, gender, immigration status, and housing circumstance. 🧵

A huge triumph for our brave clients, incl. @WeInvisible
and @FaithInFresno, and for accountability! A fave from the order (link in thread): despite claimed interests in public health and safety, "the intention of the ordinance is in reality simply to avoid public scrutiny."

[Faith in the Valley-Fresno @FaithInFresno]

A win to be thankful for! A federal judge has blocked a Fresno ordinance restricting advocates and reporters who try to highlight abuses during encampment sweeps. Thank you to the @ACLU_NorCal team and to @WeInvisible for your commitment to justice everyday! #HousingForAll

[ACLU of Northern CA @ACLU_NorCal]

BREAKING: In a victory for free speech, a federal judge has blocked a Fresno ordinance that threatens criminal sanctions against advocates for unhoused people and reporters who try to highlight abuses during encampment sweeps.

ICYMI: 36 community groups are calling for a #MeasureC renewal process that invests in people, supports healthy and thriving neighborhoods, and connects all households to opportunity. #Fresno County residents deserve better. Get involved. https://t.co/ikCSLA73QK

[Faith in the Valley-Fresno @FaithInFresno]

Fresno County residents deserve a transportation sales tax measure that invests in people, supports healthy and thriving neighborhoods, and connects all households to opportunity. Check out our ad today in the @FresnoBee to learn more and get involved at https://t.co/B8KpMcBUb9

TRAILS END: A Fresno Judge has approved the sale of Trails End Mobile Home Park to Harmony Communities for $1.7 million. Tenants against the sale coming out of the courtroom chanting “we will not be moved”.

[Faith in the Valley-Fresno @FaithInFresno]

Yesterday, judge Culver-Kapetan failed the community, families, elderly & children of Trails End by approving the sale to Harmony, who the community has been organizing against for months!
This is NOT RIGHT, it is NOT JUST, we will continue to FIGHT! #Housing4All #HomesGuarantee

[Faith in the Valley-Fresno @FaithInFresno]

The @CityofFresno has failed the community of #SaveTrailsEnd and continues to fail to protect renters and unhoused in Fresno.
Shame! Your constituents have been asking, pleading, crying, and demanding help, and you are deciding to idly watch. https://t.co/KVog1LTKX2

"After the last closed session, where residents pleaded for assistance, (the city) didn’t even have the respect for my clients to send us an email telling us that they weren’t going to take a position,” Thompson said.
