#Thankyou National Low Income Housing Coalition and Tenant Talk for allowing me the opportunity to talk about how important voters who are residents of housing and renters are. #Vote

“Those closest to the problem are closest to the solutions, but furthest away from the resources and decision making tables.” - Duaa-Rahemaah statewide organizer from Resident Action Project at tonight's Building Tenant Power workshop

Just last week, we spoke with Marc Dones of @KC_RHA and @NataliFGonzalez, projected winner of the Montgomery County (MD) Council District 6 seat, about how journalists can cover both personal stories and decades-old policy in a way that audiences are eager to hear.

🏘️ Housing is a basic human need. For everyone.

🦇 🧛 There's nothing spookier than thinking criminalization will actually solve homelessness. 🧙‍♀️👻

As a mom and former educator, I know that kids can’t learn when needs aren’t met. They need nutritious food to succeed not only in school but to lead healthy, happy lives. That’s why I’m sponsoring #SB5339--providing free school meals for our state’s 1.1M students 🍊🍌🍞 (1/4) 🧵

Housing Alliance staff and Resident Action Project members were in Olympia today to urge lawmakers to act for rent stability and rent fairness now. Join the movement at rentfairness.org!

Collective solidarity is making sure our communities can thrive. In every state in the nation, rent is rapidly rising and millions of families live just one paycheck away from losing their home. Housing stability is a must to ensure an abundant future for all of us.

Call the Legislative Hotline at 1-800-562-6000: ”This was supposed to be the year for housing, yet no bill has passed that will help solve our affordable housing crisis for the lowest income people in Washington. Please change that by making sure House Bill 1628 is passed.”

If you have experienced a significant rent increase, we want to hear from you. Help us build the momentum for housing justice!

Families need access to reasonable accommodations to pay their rent. Cathy is a housing advocate and educator, and her family wouldn't be facing eviction if the landlords were being reasonable in this situation.

Statewide rent stabilization would increase housing stability, prevent displacement, and ensure that renter households can meet their other basic needs. Currently, a vital rent stabilization is in the Ways & Means committee and needs your support. (1/2)
