Los Angeles voters made a choice.

They voted for Measure ULA so luxury real estate sales would help fund affordable housing, eviction defense, rent relief, and community-controlled housing.

Now wealthy real estate interests are trying to change the rules to protect their profits—and make it harder for communities to pass similar measures in the future.

When corporations don’t get their way, they try to rewrite the rules.

When communities organize, we can invest in keeping people housed.

Housing decisions should be made by the people who live in our communities—not billionaires and corporate real estate interests protecting their bottom line.

The housing crisis isn’t only about rising rents.

It’s about who benefits when corporations control housing.

Sherman Associates owns the Hilton hotel in Minneapolis that has housed ICE agents. The company also owns Turner Impact Capital, a “social investment” firm that owns rental properties across Minneapolis—where tenants have reported rising rents and neglected maintenance.

This is what happens when housing is treated as a financial asset instead of a public good.

The same corporate interests that profit from our homes can also profit from systems that destabilize our communities—all while claiming to invest in “social impact”.

Housing should serve people. Not corporate profits. Not authoritarian policies.

“State lawmakers must take action to uphold the will of Bay Staters by lifting the ban on rent control and allowing local jurisdictions to pass the rent stabilization ordinances that work best for their communities.”

Congress just passed what’s being called a “landmark” housing bill. The solutions being offered won’t bring the immediate relief working people need right NOW. So tenants, homeowners, mobile home park residents & small landlords will continue to organize, build power & win our demands for and until there are 🏘️✊🏾

When tenants organize, we win. When billionaires attack, we organize and fight back! ✊🏾🏠

Corporate real estate interests are trying to sell us ‘housing relief in the future’ while they attack the housing solutions we have right now.

They can slow us down, but they can’t stop us. The movement for housing justice is growing across the country, and we’re not backing down.

We’re asking our member organizations to sound off in the chat so that you can learn a little bit more about the local groups leading the charge, and how you can plug in to the fight for housing near you!👇🏽🗣️ 💪🏾

Across the country, rent is rising faster than wages. Families are being pushed out of their homes and communities.

This crisis isn’t caused by immigrants or renters demanding too much. It’s driven by housing speculation—when corporate investors treat housing like a financial asset instead of a basic human need.

That’s why tenants are organizing for rent control in Massachusetts.

Rent control is about democracy. It’s about communities having the power to set limits on landlord rent hikes so people can stay in their homes.

On April 7th, tenants and community organizations will gather in Boston to demand housing stability.

Because housing should be homes for people—not profits for investors.
