"Families are being displaced from their homes...People who are living here can’t afford these prices." Since 2017, Fresno has seen rents spike by 39%. Residents can’t afford to wait for City of Fresno to take action. calmatters.org/housing/2021/0…

Join the 12/9 City of Fresno Council meeting via Zoom or in person to tell your Councilmember to (1) take action and support rent control, just cause eviction protections, and Right-to-Counsel policies and (2) engage residents on the allocation of American Rescue Plan Act funds.

Also last week, UC Merced Community and Labor Center released results from the Fresno Speaks 2021 survey, which gives more insight into what issues are most important to residents: bit.ly/fresnospeaks 👇🏽
