The Artist Space Trust in the Bay Area is using a community land trust model to secure permanently affordable homes and studios for creators. We love to see housing solutions that also protect art, culture & community roots!

Months after the fires, some families in Pacific Palisades & Altadena still haven’t returned home. Many are now facing impossible choices. Housing justice means rebuilding, not leaving survivors behind in the recovery.

Tenants across the U.S. just made history by launching the first-ever rent debt strike against a corporate landlord. Resistance is our right when the human right to housing is in jeopardy and debt is used to trap renters! ✊

New data from the Bay Area Equity Atlas Recovery Dollars Tracker shows how COVID-relief funds were distributed across the Bay Area—and highlights gaps in support for renters & underserved communities. We must keep demanding equity for our communities!

Starting on January 1, no more “bring your own fridge” rentals! A new law now requires landlords across CA to provide functioning refrigerators and stoves. Cooking and storing food are not perks or "nice to haves", they’re necessities!

#SB610 is now the law—a victory for renters, mobile home residents & disaster survivors!

This bill clarifies landlords’ duties after wildfires & provides greater safeguards against retaliation.

Disaster shouldn't mean displacement!

Tenants in L.A. proved collective power can force transparency. Their strike pushed a major landlord to return $25K in opaque utility fees! It's not too much for tenants to ask for clarity and fairness when they receive bills.

Homes free of garbage piles, pests, and broken plumbing—these are rights, not luxuries. Landlords have a responsibility to maintain their buildings and ensure that they are safe places to live.

New update from Berkeley’s Othering & Belonging Institute exposes how much racial and economic segregation still shapes our cities. Segregated neighborhoods aren’t ancient history—they’re a reality today.

Always grateful to our partners at @asianlawcaucus.org for the work they do to protect our communities! Tenant rights = immigrant rights = thriving communities for all.

Together we build stronger, safer neighborhoods where everyone can live without fear.

Oakland used the #GrantsPass ruling to double down on criminalizing homelessness through sweeps, harsh enforcement, and reduced tolerance for visible poverty. We must remember these are our neighbors and that housing is a basic human need–not a privilege.

Tenants in Equity Residential buildings are launching a strike against predatory rent hikes and evictions. When renters unite and go on strike, they have power! ✊

The California Apartment Association just filed a supplemental brief in their appeal against Pasadena’s rent control. 😡

The CAA HATES rent control, but it'll take more than their weak legal arguments to take down this essential tenant protection!

Santa Barbara may finally put rent stabilization on the agenda! Two council members have requested a hearing to cap annual rent hikes and protect renters. This is long overdue! www.independent.com/2025/10/01/w...

California is in a housing crisis because we’re not building homes that families can actually afford. Housing isn’t an optional or a nice to have—it’s a human right.

Tenants aren’t unionizing one building. Across states, 1,000+ renters in Capital Realty Group properties are organizing a union for collective bargaining. This is tenant power!

KC Tenants is taking their fight to the stage, using comedy, music, and community to fuel rent strikes and demand accountability from landlords. Art is protest, and laughter can be a rallying cry. We love to see it! www.axios.com/local/kansas...

If Social Security checks are delayed or reduced, tenants shouldn’t lose their homes. A CA bill that would pause evictions when benefits are disrupted is now awaiting Governor Newsom’s signature calmatters.org/politics/202...

Tenant unions from Buffalo to Bozeman are joining forces to challenge corporate landlords, resist displacement, and demand homes as a human right. Our unity is our strength!

Studies claiming #MeasureULA hurts multifamily housing production rest on shaky data, short timeframes & flawed comparisons. ULA has raised hundreds of millions for rental assistance, affordable homes & tenant protections.

Fair housing protections are under attack. This Administration is rolling back our rights and reopening the door to housing discrimination.

The truth has a certain ring to it–this scathing 2003 typewritten letter to an SF landlord still hits today. The fight for dignity, accountability, and justice continues.

When rent takes over half your income, your life is just one crisis away from collapse. 27% of California tenants are living this reality. We need systemic change—rent control, tenant protections & affordable housing construction!

Our neighbors, housed and unhoused alike, are being swept up and abducted in ICE raids. This podcast shows how these sweeps target all of us. Together we can resist, protect & build solidarity.

From the picket line to the protest, music carries our struggle. “La Cumbia de la Migra” by Los Jornaleros del Norte turns the pain of raids into collective strength. When workers sing, they refuse to be silenced. Solidarity through song! @ndlon.bsky.social
