A (not-so) novel idea: the people who live together are best suited to address their housing problems together as a tenant union. Great snapshot of how La Union de Vecinos, Local Este de SILA and L.A. Tenants Union collaborate to address the root causes of LA's housing crisis.

SB 1011= Harm “When I was ticketed for living outside, it made me feel like I didn’t belong in my own community. It made me feel like a second-class community member who didn’t even have the right to exist.” Aisha Wahab 愛莎華 #NOonSB1011 Nancy Skinner Senator Steven Bradford Senator Scott Wiener

We're at #CAleg today to oppose #SB1011 .

Pushing unhoused people out of sight doesn’t make homelessness go away. To end homelessness, we need to address the root problem: lack of affordable housing.

That's why 100 orgs are urging #NOonSB1011 : drive.google.com/file/d/1tMQtz0…

Cuts to housing and homelessness programs will lead to more Californians becoming unhoused. We cannot afford to lose ground during hard times. Our #CABudget must prioritize people especially low income households. Our bit.ly/24-25Budget blueprint shows us how #HousingForAll

Our organizers and leaders are at Lobby Day with PICO CA at the Capitol today advocating for AB1657, a housing bond for housing resources and affordable housing. @picocalifornia #keepfamilieshoused #homeissacred #hogaressagrado

Proud today to stand w/ PICO California Buffy Wicks & Senator María Elena Durazo in strong support of #AB1657 , the Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2024, a $10B bond proposed for the Nov. ballot. CA must build more affordable housing and make our state more affordable for all residents.

Our network is here at the Capitol today in full force in support of #AB1657 and the building of affordable housing! #CALeg

Californians w/ the lowest income are at risk for homelessness amid rising costs. The #CABudget must ensure they are housed + off the street. Our bit.ly/24-25Budget blueprint prioritizes key investments so #HousingForAll remains within reach. Anna Caballero Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks

Cuts to housing and homelessness programs will lead to more Californians becoming unhoused. We can't afford to lose ground during hard times. Our #CABudget must prioritize people, especially low-income households. Housing California's blueprint, okt.to/qdr2KY, shows us how.

Our #CAbudget must invest in proven solutions that support and increase our momentum of housing production so CA can meet the scale of housing needs.

We urge #CALeg to prioritize housing affordability and accessibility so there are more Californians in homes, not on the streets.

CALL TO ACTION: Housing & homelessness are top concerns for San Franciscans and Californians statewide. We urge #CALeg  to deliver a #CABudget  that invests in housing and programs to meet the scale of need. #HousingforAll bit.ly/24-25Budget

California cannot afford to lose momentum when programs are helping 1000s of people combat/exit homelessness. Let’s keep Californians from falling off the cliff & landing on the streets. Our coalition blueprint of the #CAbudget prioritizes #HousingForAll : buff.ly/49vPQho

We can only make progress in solving our housing affordability and homelessness crises with ongoing funding that matches the scale of need. Our buff.ly/49vPQho blueprint prioritizes ongoing investments in proven solutions that create #HousingForAll #CAbudget #CALeg

📣CALL TO ACTION Housing & homelessness are top concerns for Californians. We urge #CALeg to deliver a #CABudget that invests in housing and programs to meet the scale of need. Mike McGuire Speaker Robert Rivas Cecilia Aguiar-Curry Lena Gonzalez #HousingforAll bit.ly/24-25Budget

Rising costs are hitting low income Californians the hardest. Our #CABudget must preserve #affordablehousing so it is accessible by everyone.

Next Tuesday, the California Senate Public Safety Committee is considering SB 1011, which would radically expand the criminalization of homelessness in our state. We cannot solve homelessness through citations and arrests. The only solution is housing. #NoOnSB1011

Criminalization makes it harder to get folks back into housing. IDs, paperwork, life-saving meds, and important possessions all get thrown in the garbage truck. Aisha Wahab 愛莎華 Steven Bradford Senator Scott Wiener Nancy Skinner please vote #NOonSB1011

Housing + services = What ends homelessness.

SB 1011 would push California in the opposite direction, and make homelessness worse. That’s why over 100 organizations are urging #NOonSB1011

Michelle Pariset, director of legislative affairs at Public Advocates, who is pushing for AB 846, said... “It’s not just people living in for-profit affordable housing that are getting large rent increases. We want to make sure everybody’s protected.” 👇
