Thousands of families are at risk of losing their homes because a few billionaires think they can get away with playing legal games to hold up the mansion tax.
They won’t win.
We need more housing and tenant support, not excuses from real estate corporations.
Just saw OPPENHEIMER, an in-depth character exploration of the people who built the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that killed a quarter million Japanese civilians. Film is 3 hours long and features zero Japanese people.
BREAKING: #SB567 passes in the Assembly Judiciary Committee!!
Thank you to @SenMariaEDurazo for championing this - renter protections ARE homelessness prevention! #HousingisaHumanRight
We’re hugely thankful for @LuzRivas leadership on #SB4, ensuring that affordable housing in CA, in accordance with state law, won’t be built next to active oil/gas facilities. CEJA is excited to work with such a devoted EJ champion on the just transition away from fossil fuels
Yesterday’s discussion re: #SB4 highlighted important intersections between #housingjustice & #environmentaljustice. You can’t have one w/ out the other! Thank you @LuzRivas, @LauraFriedmanCA & #ANR Cmte for ensuring that housing built in EJ communities is affordable AND healthy!
More members to thank, but before I go to bed, have to send another shout out of appreciation to @LauraFriedmanCA for advocating for the 3,200 setback from oil and gas. It’s a common sense #Environmentaljustice protection and it’s current law. This is for #LA and all communities
It happened again. I received notice of my rent increasing above what’s legal.
Me, the councilmember that pushed for rent control, received a notice of my rent increasing above what’s legal.
It’s not hard to imagine how so many of our tenants see similar illegal increases.
This report from 2012 was made after an impactful exchanged with communities who deal with the health impacts of living near oil refineries...

Thank You @LuzRivas for helping protect low income communities of color.
Whew. Many thanks to @AsmMuratsuchi for championing an #environmentaljustice setback from oil and gas operations in #SB4 tonight. Truly appreciate those who understand the importance of protections for #EJ communities in #LA. We need #HealthyHoods
Just witnessed an amazing late night discussion on #SB4 in Nat. Res. tonight. Thank you @LuzRivas for your incredible leadership to get more EJ protections into the bill. Communities deserve safe and affordable housing - AND clean air to breathe ✊🏽@cejaaction
We cannot address the housing crisis while furthering environmental injustice. @LauraFriedmanCA, please support the EJ amendments for #SB4 that ensure housing will be built in healthy areas that do not cause harm to communities.

As an EJ advocate and resident in a frontline community, I urge @Scott_Wiener and members of the #ANR committee to prevent further harm to our communities by adding EJ protections to #SB4 and ensuring that housing built in impacted neighborhoods is safe and healthy!
@Scott_Wiener current law requires a distance of 3,200 from oil and gas operations. We expect nothing short of that to continue for #SB4, a bill that could place low-income housing in harm's way if those protections are not in place.
Watching the #SB4#ANR hearing today & a bit disappointed by the conversation. EJ communities are asking for common sense health protections in the bill. Low-income residents should not have to choose between having housing and protecting their health. We deserve #healthyhoods
.@LauraFriedmanCA, @ChrisWardCA, @JimWoodAD2 Please stand with Environmental Justice communities to support common sense health protections in #SB4! We must require that housing be separated from industrial land uses, freeways, oil and gas facilities.

@JimWoodAD2 @ChrisWardCA
The housing & climate crisis must be addressed together! Please support health protections in #SB4 to prevent community housing being placed next to harmful freeways & oil & gas or industrial facilities.
