She did it! A BCLP member stood up for herself & her kids & walked out of eviction court with the case thrown out! Eviction can be scary, but you don't need to face it alone. Reach out to the BCLP, become a member & see how you can be part of the change for Renters!!

[Bedford County Listening Project @BCLP8]

The first of the month shouldn't be scary! Rent is to damn high! Join us at our next Bedford Tenants Union meeting, Monday, November 4th at 6 pm. 203 E Lane St, Shelbyville. Dinner is provided and all are welcome.

NEW: NYC landlord lobby groups are merging. And they have one goal: raising our rent.

Despite its innocent name, the New York Apartment Association's true agenda is protecting real estate profits at the expense of working families.

The BCLP has created a New Bedford Tenant Union! This is a city wide tenant union not only for Tenants, but for all people of Shelbyville and Bedford County! We're looking for people who believe that tenants should be free from retaliation for reporting a needed repair +

[Bedford County Listening Project @BCLP8]

That tenants shouldn't be made to pay expensive non-refundable "move-in fees", and that tenants should have representation in eviction court! If this sounds like you, then scan the QR code below or go to https://t.co/E1mNSiOons to register for our next meeting!

Shelbyville City Council has proposed an amendment change that would ban overnight camping! Our homeless neighbors need real solutions not jail! No one should be fined or possibly jailed for simply trying to sleep at night! go to https://t.co/p1vrlmxfBO & sign on.

Tonight the City of Shelbyville will be proposing an amendment that would ban overnight camping on public lands. This ordinance is a direct target on the homeless residents of Shelbyville. This is not okay! Come to the study session tonight!

[Bedford County Listening Project @BCLP8]

Shelbyville is trying to pass an ordinance that would punish our neighbors for not having a safe place to lay their heads at night. Punishing someone for existing increases the barriers to housing and makes the homelessness problem worse. Email now: https://t.co/zmB3InFQMm

Everyone deserves to live in a home with sufficient heat and in homes free from broken windows and doors that cause drafts. We are accepting donations for space heaters via Cash-app at $BCLPSteering. Funds will be used to purchase new, safe space heaters. 2/2

[Bedford County Listening Project @BCLP8]

Hey y’all! It's getting cold outside, so folks are needing heaters! We love helping neighbors stay warm, so we are asking folks to help us buy heaters!!
We know that landlords should bear this responsibility because all families deserve safe and warm housing! 1/2

It's inspiring to hear testimony from the renters who are going to DC to demand the federal government and the FHFA hold landlords accountable.

[Bedford County Listening Project @BCLP8]

Last night we had our send-off party for the Delegation headed to DC!! I was a great event and so inspiring to hear testimony from the renters who are coming with us. Next Stop DC!!
Want to help support the Delegation? https://t.co/Vi6mEqiOCZ

[Bedford County Listening Project @BCLP8]

We are heading to DC to meet with the FHFA director & present a list of demands. If Landlords get Government money to buy property there need to be proper regulations!

Come and show your support! RSVP on Facebook:

We had a great turn out at our Labor Day Membership Cookout!
7 new people said they wanted to fight for the rights of Renters in Shelbyville & Bedford County & became BCLP Members.
It's going to take a collective effort to keep this movement driving towards change.
