Rent is stretching budgets like never before. The typical renter is now “rent-burdened” for the first time ever - where housing eats up 30% (or more) of their monthly income.
America's renters need #rentcontrol now!

We condemn @JNJNews for charging #SouthAfrica over x2 what other nations pay for its #TB drug bedaquiline & extending its patent 4 more years. J&J must put #PeopleBeforeProfits, sell S.A. bedaquiline at @StopTB's #GlobalDrugFacility price & avail the patent.

340B Drug Pricing Program Needs Protection, Not Fundamental Reform
#GreedyPharma hates #340B because it eats into their profit$ — profit$ that, unlike safety net provider 340B savings, have no accountability for their use at all.

We applaud activists and tenants in #Michigan who seek to end statewide #RentControl restrictions.

Rent control stabilizes the housing affordability crisis and prevents people from falling into homelessness.

Rent control works! https://t.co/2hgId3BgBG

The California Apartment Association and Big Real Estate work together to stop tenant protections throughout our state.

Corporate landlords and the CAA only care about pumping up their profits -- no matter the consequences to us.

CAA = Big Real Estate https://t.co/v2xy92yjBT

[Housing Is A Human Right™ @HousingHumanRt]

Corporate landlords use the California Apartment Association to do their dirty work so they can keep charging unfair, sky-high rents.

But we can stop the CAA and corporate landlords by passing #RentControl. https://t.co/urE12sZbbq

[Housing Is A Human Right™ @HousingHumanRt]

The California Apartment Association and corporate landlords are devastating people's lives.

But we can rein them in -- through #RentControl.

One of the consequences of sky-high rents is that people can't save up for emergencies -- and suddenly find themselves getting an eviction notice.

#RentControl can change that. It stabilizes rents and prevents people from falling into homelessness. https://t.co/yRjjOPs682

AHF Slams J&J’s Vaccine Hostage Tactics in South Africa:
@JNJGlobalHealth used scarcity during the #COVID pandemic as leverage to charge South Africa inflated prices on vaccine doses – a tactic that we decry as ruthless #GreedyPharma profiteering.

Is California the new Rust Belt?
AHF President Michael Weinstein explains why he thinks it is, "Californians are leaving the state because they cannot earn enough to afford a decent place to live and lead some semblance of a middle-class existence." https://t.co/j8mszQzwJt

Boobs —Yes! Bananas —NO!
So boobs are ok on billboards but a condom wrapped banana, is out of the question? It’s a message stressing the importance of infectious disease prevention, not something dirty. #censorship #condoms

Big Real Estate executives can lay out mountains of cash for their multimillion dollar toys and parties because they rake in billions through excessive rent increases which are either poorly regulated or not regulated at all.
Corporate landlords buy superyachts while California tenants drown under excessive rents

[Housing Is A Human Right™ @HousingHumanRt]

Corporate landlords are slamming Californians with unfair, sky-high rents.

Then the billionaires buy superyachts and mansions while we can barely make ends meet.

We must pass #RentControl to rein in greedy corporate landlords. https://t.co/zc48OwOgHq

With the #JusticeForRenters Act on the California ballot in 2024, the big question will be whose side is Gov. Gavin Newsom on?

Renters or Big Real Estate?

California's #LGBTQ community needs #RentControl.

It will stabilize the housing affordability crisis and prevent people from falling into homelessness.

This scandal isn't surprising.

Top California YIMBY contributors are behind this land grab in Solano County, and YIMBY leaders have always had a problem with arrogance.

CA YIMBY must be transparent with the public and name their top 50 contributors. https://t.co/yjIb2xTcU3

Our work in Uganda was recently featured by @nbstv, highlighting @ahfugandacares efforts around #TB advocacy, the #GreedyGilead campaign for accessible & affordable #HIV drugs, @GirlsActIntl, youth advocate @EmojelTrevor's achievements, and HIV services.

It's #tbt, and today marks the anniversary of Carl Bean's passing. Before Carl Bean became a bishop, he was a musician and released the song "I Was Born This Way." This song inspired @ladygaga's song, "Born This Way." #bornthisway #ladygaga #carlbean #iwasbornthisway

[AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) @AHFcares]

When a promising #HIV treatment emerged, rather than get it to market right away, @GileadSciences decided to slow-walk its release to maximize profit on the company’s existing patents, potentially harming thousands of people with and at risk for HIV.

@RebeccaDRobbins, who covers drug companies for the @nytimes talks more about this shameful situation on The Daily.
