Right to counsel is really important to guarantee renters a fair hearing in eviction court. The @NEWR_Boulder ballot measure passed in 2020 and now @NEWRDenver is trying to put a similar measure on the ballot. You don't have to be a Denver resident to help collect signatures!
Join @ucwcolorado for a discussion about housing justice & solutions to the U.S. housing crisis—including the local work done by @NEWR_Boulder Bedrooms Are For People, and the @ucwcolorado Housing Subcommittee—from 6:30-8 pm this Wednesday, May 19. https://t.co/DWrgVx5s5U
A tenant's blood plasma vs. the return rate that these multifamily investment companies promise their investors.
That's the context under which evictions are occurring in #Denver and around the country. Our "rental system" is an extortion racket.
Every eviction is an act of violence. Let's strike a blow against the crisis of eviction and displacement in #Denver -- join us at noon on Saturday to canvass to get #RightToCounsel on the ballot this November!

We've collected 62% (2054 signatures) of our goal of 3,336, but that won't mean anything if we don't reach 100%!
Help spread the word in your networks and get us to our goal! #boulder https://t.co/Q4xrOxIqSu
Decades of a housing crisis followed by a pandemic has left CO renters more vulnerable than ever. @COSenDem must step up to pass basic tenant protections. Don’t water down #SB173!

An important story about how #RightToCounsel in Boulder helps tenants immensely even in situations where they have to vacate, negotiating favorable terms with their landlord and avoiding a damaging eviction record!

Even within the court system, the whole eviction process is set up to rely on a landlord’s word - that the eviction is lawful, the tenant has been properly notified, etc. #RightToCounsel makes sure the landlord’s voice isnt the only one in the room when losing a home is at stake!
Another great day of canvassing! We’ll be out again tomorrow at Cheesman Park at 1 pm. If you haven’t signed yet now’s the perfect time!

This week, we got to testify about SB 21-173.
In favor: tenants, small landlords, faith leaders, and housing policy experts from across the state.
Opposed: paid lobbyists and eviction lawyers.
Make no mistake: the fight over this bill is the people vs. the powerful.
Help Bedrooms Are For People get on the ballot! We have an amazing team that's growing by the week. Fill out our form and join us today! #boulder https://t.co/tYiAjxA0OZ
