Victories
Cancel Rent Movement Wins Major Victory!
After over a year of grassroots organizing across the entire state of California to #CancelRent, yesterday, the California legislature passed AB 832, effectively allowing rent debt for most tenants and landlords to be paid off by the state. All of it. The bill also extends the eviction moratorium until September 30th.A year ago, this was unimaginable. A year ago, we were deep in the throws of a pandemic with no end in sight for an economic or public health recovery. We still have a long way to go, but today’s vote signals a huge victory for renters that have been waiting in fear of being hit with crushing rent debt.
Los Angeles & Richmond Win Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinances!
After a swell in pandemic induced landlord harassment and after years of organizing, Richmond and Los Angeles passed strong tenant anti-harassment ordinances - effectively removing the financial incentive for landlords to harass tenants out of their homes as business model in an attempt to circumvent local rent control.
Oakland & Richmond Win Big on Community Investment in City Budget Campaigns!
Both Richmond and Oakland ACCE ran budget campaigns alongside our allies that successfully moved nearly $61M into funding critical community services - including funding workforce development, investing in city services from litter abatement and park clean up, bolstering non-police mental health support programs, expanding violence prevention efforts, youth employment and housing access!
