Support @InclusivAction's fund in support of "open air" workers impacted by the fires. Help us get $500 gifts to street vendors, landscape workers, recyclers and more. 100% of proceeds go to these workers - https://t.co/LALEhh6jJz
As the fires rage, L.A. City, County, and other local jurisdictions should enact an emergency eviction moratorium to prevent the further displacement of thousands of Angelenos. The fires have already wrought tragic devastation, short and long-term. https://t.co/QGZvp100Ma
And they wonder why NYC's poverty rates just keep increasing
That's a $1,000 ticket. For selling fresh cut fruit. That costs $5/cup.
She needs access to business licensing, not a summons from the #NYPD. Street vending is not a crime! We need #StreetVendorReform now
Thank you @cd4losangeles for standing with tenants! We will continue to work together until we have stronger rent control, a stronger Tenant Anti-Harrassment Ordinance (TAHO), rent debt is forgiven, and we have social housing! #HousingIsAHumanRight ✊🏾🏠
Thank you @cd1losangeles for introducing a motion to address rent debt owed in the city and to improve existing relief programs. Rent debt causes evictions, displacement, and stress to tenants and families! It’s past time for LA city leadership to provide rent debt relief!

Wednesday night, nearly 100 tenants, elected officials and community members joined @KeepLAHoused People's Town Hall to hear how the City of LA can strengthen the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance. We thank all who attended, including CMs @nithyavraman@EunissesH
Last week, we invited city leaders to a rent debt town hall. Tenants spoke directly with their council members about how rent debt is impacting them and their families, and their fears about what happens next…

RECAP of yesterday's action and @LACityCouncil meeting! 🧵👇🏽
We started with a press conference to call on our city leaders to help prevent a nightmare after Christmas by:
🎄Taking action on rent debt before the February 1st deadline
🎄Codifying a #RightToCounsel
.@cd4losangeles says no to a Nightmare After Xmas! She understands that working class tenants helped pass Measure ULA (@UnitedToHouseLA) because it will help us implement real solutions for our communities, and so the @LACityCouncil needs to listen to working class tenants!
90% of landlords have legal representation in court, while only 10% of renters do. As a tenants rights attorney, I’ve seen firsthand how legal defense can be the difference between ending up on the street and staying housed.
It’s time to codify a right to counsel.
The @LACityCouncil meeting is under way! Tune in here: https://t.co/D1Hm1RxIfR
And don’t forget you can make public comment to support a #RightToCounsel & to protect families experiencing rent debt! Toolkit: https://t.co/KjqhSELfBe
Action Alert! On Wednesday, December 13th, join us at LA City Hall to demand city leaders act now on rent debt before it’s too late!! Demand @LACityCouncil#KeepLAHoused by giving the gift of housing stability this holiday season!
