Have you ever wanted to make a change in the housing system? Now is the time you can step up and tell your story to urge state legislation to make a change!
It's that time of year when we can lobby legislature for more that what we have as tenant protections. This year Tenants Together is co-sponsoring AB 436 (Wahab) which is the right to redeem your rent payment after your three-day notice expires. At this point in time, if you don't have the money you are evicted without hesitation, lets push to ensure that we have time until our next paycheck to ensure that we can pay and stay in our home! If you have been affected like many folks have, please feel free to contact me via cell phone to ensure that we prep you to lead the speaking in meetings with these politicians.
Please dont let a barrier stop you from joining - Transportation, meals, and inspiration to join the movement will be provided free to you. We will be taking a charter bus from Fresno up to the State Capital, lobby the state politicians, have lunch, and participate in a press conference and action at the capital. If you are interested, please use the mail chimp link below to register and secure your seat to the capital! Together we can fight to expand our rights! Please, also feel free to share this posting! We need everyone to come that can.

Mission Statement
We believe that housing is a human right, not a commodity. We advance policy that is driven from tenant experience. To resist displacement we must organize renters and other allied groups to make strong and bold demands of those in power. Organizing for tenants’ rights to us means organizing tenant unions and building associations, building tenant power for the long-term. If we are to win the most transformative policy, we must center our movements around the leadership of those most affected: low-income communities and communities of color. We seek alignment with other movements fighting against structural oppression because tenants do not live single-issue lives, and the right to housing will only be won by building power with other movements. This includes, but is not limited to, movements that build collective power and are rooted in racial, gender, economic, environmental, and disability justice; trans and queer liberation, and indigenous sovereignty.
