Our Executive Director, Joseph Tomás McKellar, recently co-authored a MUST READ piece in @sacbee_news. #SB567 isn't just a number. It's about real lives, especially Women of color who disproportionately face unjust evictions. #CALeg #HomeisSacred READ📰 buff.ly/3YKtcOk

I enjoyed meeting with People Acting in Community Together @PACTSJ with @Ash_Kalra, and I share their concerns. We need to treat the housing shortage like the crisis it is, and quickly secure housing for the unhoused and anyone who is housing-insecure.

In a few days, the #CALeg Senate will vote on #SB567, the #HomelessnessPreventionAct. We're counting on @BillDoddCA @SusanEggman @Portantino @GeneralRoth @SenBlakespear to vote YES on this critical bill that will close eviction loopholes for millions of renters in California!

Here are some more views from yesterday's Save #SB567 rally in Pasadena with @LA_Voice! Together, we urged Senator @Portantino to do the right thing by passing the #HomelessnessPreventionAct tomorrow in Senate Appropriations Committee. #CALeg Full video: youtu.be/f45mZ_GHm3Y

Today, the Senate Appropriations Committee decides if they want to stop rising homelessness in California by passing #SB567 or continue to allow our families to be pushed out onto the streets. We look forward to #SB567 making it out of appropriations & to a full floor vote!

Without the strengthened tenant protections proposed in #SB567, renovictions will continue to harm our communities and exacerbate a growing crisis. If we truly believe that our #HomeisSacred, then there's NO choice but to pass the #HomelessnessPreventionAct as is! It's crucial.

To solve the #housingcrisis, we need courageous leaders to choose people and families over corporate profits. We need @senator_umberg and @portantino to partner with @SenMariaEDurazo and pass #SB567. Call your senators at the link in our bio and tell them to vote YES on SB567!

“We can no longer have officers investigating officers,” says Cole Mitchell, SJSU student advocate. “It really is a matter of life or death for a lot of community members. A lot of their stories are not being validated or understood.”
