College students are tenants too–and they’re organizing like it! Across the country, student #tenantunions are taking on unsafe conditions, rising rents, and unscrupulous landlords. When tenants organize, they win! inthesetimes.com/article/why-...

Good news! Homelessness fell in many of CA’s largest counties this year. We know that keeping people housed starts by preventing eviction. It’s why rent control and strong tenant protections are vital! calmatters.org/housing/home...

CA’s insurance crisis isn’t just a homeowner problem. Rising premiums can mean higher rents, fewer affordable homes, and greater instability for tenants after disasters. Renters deserve to be part of the conversation about insurance & climate resilience. laist.com/news/housing...

A SF family says their landlord doubled their rent after exploiting a loophole in #rentcontrol protections. Tenants shouldn’t have to fear losing their homes because landlords found a loophole. abc7news.com/post/san-fra...

The childcare crisis and the housing crisis are connected. When care workers can’t afford to live where they work, everyone suffers. We need systemic solutions that make both childcare and housing affordable for all. shelterforce.org/2026/08/20/t...

Portland is putting $17.5M toward #socialhousing. This takes homes off the speculative market and keeps them permanently affordable. It’s a start, but lasting change requires long-term public investment in housing. shelterforce.org/2026/08/21/p...

Older tenants stranded in their own homes. Emergency responders carrying residents down multiple flights of stairs. Landlords who neglect basic repairs must be held accountable. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

Housing justice is an intergenerational fight. Older adults bring decades of experience, leadership, and organizing power to tenant movements across the country. Their voices belong in this work. shelterforce.org/2026/08/13/o...

The fight for tenants' rights has always been about more than housing. Organizing neighbors, forming tenant unions, and building community power create the foundation for broader movements that can transform our cities for the better. shelterforce.org/2026/08/12/c...

Heat waves can be deadly, especially for seniors, people with disabilities, children, and low-income renters. California can't keep treating access to cooling as a luxury when extreme heat is becoming the norm. www.latimes.com/california/s...

An eviction is still an eviction, even when it's happening in an assisted living facility. Thousands of low-income seniors who rely on #MediCal could lose the housing & care they depend on after Health Net announced it will end assisted living coverage. calmatters.org/health/2026/...

Housing targets mean very little if affordable homes never get built. Less than 6% of CA jurisdictions are on track to meet their very low-income housing goals. Tenants need more than plans on paper. We need homes people can actually afford. calmatters.org/housing/2026...

South Santa Rosa’s Future Must Include Housing Stability for Existing Residents!

🏳️‍🌈 Join us in Fresno Aug. 21–22 for the 4th Annual #QueerHousingSummit! This year’s “Over the Borderline” summit brings queer & trans communities together to build connection, safety & collective power in the face of displacement. Register here: pci.jotform.com/form/2613456...

CA’s insurance crisis is a tenants’ rights issue. Renters can face higher rents, displacement & unsafe conditions after disasters, while decisions about cleanup & recovery are left to landlords and insurance companies. Tenants deserve protection too. calmatters.org/economy/2026...

LA has 20,000+ vacant lots zoned for housing while renters face an affordability crisis. Imagine what we could do with that land: affordable homes, community ownership and housing built for people, not speculation. The land is there. Let's use it. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Wall Street views us as investments to squeeze for maximum profit. The result? Higher rents, more evictions and worse conditions. Housing should be a home, not a vehicle for extracting wealth and uprooting communities. shelterforce.org/2026/07/31/e...

Older renters on fixed incomes are especially vulnerable to rent hikes and displacement. Our United to House LA partners are fighting to keep seniors housed and able to age in place. shelterforce.org/2026/07/30/f...

This is what advocacy looks like! Our friends at South Tower CLT organized to put land in community hands, prevent displacement AND preserve a beloved indie bookstore in Fresno. When tenants and communities organize, we win. ✊ nextcity.org/urbanist-new...

The Palisades and Altadena burned at the same time. But while billionaire Rick Caruso pours money into the Palisades, Altadena residents have little support with speculators just waiting to snatch up their land. Recovery shouldn’t depend on wealth. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/b...

By our own @ryanjbell.bsky.social : Pasadena renters won #rentcontrol & just-cause protections. Now landlords are trying to roll them back. Don't be fooled by landlord-backed ballot measures that claim to "protect" tenants while gutting tenant protections. www.coloradoboulevard.net/dont-be-misl...

Tenants already face barriers to voting because of housing insecurity. Efforts that intimidate voters only make those barriers worse. As @asianlawcaucus.org warns about DHS targeting California voters, everyone deserves a safe home & a voice at the ballot box. www.asianlawcaucus.org/news-resourc...

When the ultra-wealthy fight parcel taxes, transfer taxes, and other policies that fund affordable homes–tenants pay the price. Housing policy should be shaped by communities, not a dozen billionaires. capitalandmain.com/an-exponenti...

Rent is going up again for many CA renters because the statewide rent cap rises with inflation. For families already stretched thin, even "legal" rent hikes can mean impossible choices. CA needs stronger tenant protections! laist.com/news/califor...

CA law protects #Section8 voucher holders from being denied housing, but now a landlord is suing to roll back those protections. We must defend renters' rights and keep housing accessible and affordable for all. calmatters.org/newsletter/c...

San Pablo renters gathered the signatures to put rent stabilization on the ballot. They are taking the fight to corporate landlords and real estate lobbyists! This is what people power looks like! davisvanguard.org/2026/08/san-...

Extreme heat is a housing justice issue. CA law requires landlords to provide heat, but not cooling. New LA County rules will finally require cooling in rental homes starting in 2027, recognizing that safe housing means protection from dangerous heat too. lapublicpress.org/2026/07/la-a...

Know your rights before you travel! @asianlawcaucus.org has published a guide on what to expect at U.S. airports, including your rights if you're questioned, searched, or detained. Share it with your community and travel informed! ✈️ www.asianlawcaucus.org/news-resourc...

The harms of unchecked corporate AI are real and communities are waking up to the threat! From organizing against data centers and rent-setting algorithms to resisting mass surveillance, people are pushing back. organizingmythoughts.org/the-ai-boom-...

Day laborers have spent the last year navigating fear, detention & uncertainty while trying to support their families. @ndlon.bsky.social's convention is a reminder that community and organizing are powerful tools for resisting isolation & defending immigrant rights. www.latimes.com/california/s...
