On Tuesday, February 18th 500 tenants and allies converged on the Capitol for our Renters' Day of Action. Californians from across the state joined us to lobby for restoration of the Renters' Rebate, reform of the Ellis Act, and passage of SB 391- the Homes & Jobs Act. Read more about the day. We've collected some of the live reports from the field here:
We are tweeting live today from our California Renters' Day of Action! Stay tuned for updates.
