  • “Although unions seek higher wages from employers, much of that extra pay goes straight to the landlords. To build workers’ power, we need decommodified and democratically controlled land and housing.” Nothing could be more true. Shout out to all the labor unions that have begun to understand the need for tenant power in order to maintain gains for the working class as a whole.

  • We want to make sure people understand the work it took to get #AB1482 passed. Like any major victory, the narrative can change and I want to be clear that this win didn't happen over night, by magic, nor was it solely elected officials that made this happen. Tenants from all over the state, organized to bring it to this point. Renters from as far as San Diego and LA, the Bay, and Sacramento lobbied elected officials, organized direct actions, and called the hell out of our representatives. It took a TON of organizing, sacrifice, and a lot of protesting. So when anyone talks about this victory without the mention of what tenants did, your narrative is not only incomplete, but it completely erases the work and sacrifice of working class people. Remember: TENANTS organized and drove this and it took brave legislators, like David Chiu, to push this forward. There is definitely more work to do, but like the passage of #AB1482, it's going to take people organizing, fighting back, to win.

  • Today we made history!!! Just now, the California legislature passed the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 and is on its way to Governor Newsom's desk to be signed! #AB1482 expands protections to 7 million tenants, covering more renters than any single tenant protection bill in recent US history! Today's vote is a testament to the resurgence of organizing by renters and housing justice organizations across California. AB 1482 is the first major statewide expansion of tenant protections resulting from this growth in tenant voice and power. Major shout out to ALL of the people that fought so hard to push this bill into reality! First off to all the tenant leaders who did countless direct actions, took to the streets, signed petitions, called their legislators and brought the grassroots to Sacramento. Secondly, to all of our coalition allies that worked tirelessly on the bill - our sponsors PICO California, Western Center on Law & Poverty, Public Advocates, PolicyLink, and TechEquity Collaborative and the whole Housing Now coalition, Major thank to Assemblymembers David Chiu, Rob Bonta, Richard Bloom,  Assemblymember Tim Grayson, Buffy Wicks, and Speaker Anthony Rendon, as well as Senate President pro Temopore Toni G. Atkins, Senator Bob Hertzberg, and Governor Gavin Newsom. Their leadership has been invaluable and will ensure that millions of California renters enjoy greater housing stability. This victory proves that California’s renters are a force to be reckoned with, and we aren’t even close to being done yet. Until every single Californian is guaranteed a safe and affordable home, we will keep fighting and keep winning. That includes winning stronger and permanent rent control at the local level. That includes making homes permanently affordable by putting land into community control with innovative local solutions like land trusts. That includes winning strong regulations of corporate landlords and Wall Street speculators that have been ravishing our communities. We win fight, we win... and we're just getting started. #Organize . . . . . #housing #housingcrisis #housingisahumanright #rent #rentcap #rentcontrol #rentcontrolnow #heretostay #keepfamilie

  • Want to know what the inside of a home owned and managed by one of America’s largest landlords looks like? This. Corporate landlord @invitationhomes has neglected ACCE member Cecilia Vargas’ home SO BADLY the city of Compton is condemning it. So they’re giving her a “no-cause” eviction and offering her no help. This is UNACCEPTABLE. While Invitation Homes reported $139 million in profits just this first quarter, their tenants are forced to live in conditions like this to only be evicted for no reason and without support. We can change this - if we pass the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (#AB1482) Invitation Homes will be required to give Cecilia and her family relocation assistance - the BARE MINIMUM they can do for all the suffering they’ve put this family through. Stand with Cecilia and urge key Senators to support the bill by clicking the link in our bio!! .. . . . #housing #housingcrisis #housingisahumanright #organize #peoplepower #rent #rentcontrol #rentcap #justcause #heretostay #keepfamilieshome #keepfamiliestogether

  • We’ve been fighting very hard for this legislation for 7 months and we’re glad to see @gavinnewsom step up to help strike a deal.. if we can see #AB1482 pass through the Senate and the Assembly again next week, rents will be capped statewide at 5% + CPI and with Just Cause Eviction protections for the next 10 years. This is no small feat!! For all of you that supported Prop 10 - this isn’t just the repeal of a bad restriction, this is the active restriction on landlords from gouging tenants or evicting them, this is a major step towards fighting displacement statewide.

  • After 6 consecutive years of $100 rent increases by corporate landlord giant @invitationhomes, Richard Mitchell, his partner and son are being displaced by the rent gouging. Richards landlord is one of the largest private equity firms on the planet- having reported $139 million in profits from just the first quarter of this year. Their money comes off the backs of tenants like Richard here and it’s disgusting. Right now the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 is moving through the Senate that would stop rent gouging and unfair evictions. Stand with Richard by urging his Senator @drpanmd to vote yes on #ab1482 by clicking the link in our bio! . . . #housing #housingcrisis #housingisahumanright #rent #rentcontrol #heretostay #organize #peoplepower

  • This is the sign up sheet for people we met in West Oakland yesterday who are interested in getting involved with ACCE's Black Housing Union. More than half of the people we talked to are currently homeless. Most of them work, too. The ACCE organizer who was out canvassing and organizing these folks in West Oakland yesterday just lost her housing and is staying in hotel with her two kids, and she's STILL going out there every day and doing this work. We are MAD as HELL. We are all stepping up our organizing and preparing to escalate this fight. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. This is a life or death fight we are in. The Black community in Oakland is being decimated by the real estate industry. ACCE Action is fighting back. ACCE members are low-income and working class people of every race (predominantly Black and immigrant), and they are militantly organizing their communities and directly confronting some of the richest capitalists in the world. Y'all don't know how much foundation funding ACCE lost when we put a repeal of Costa Hawkins on the ballot. ACCE is an enemy of the ruling class because of how we organize. We are really about that life. And we need ALL our allies to stand with us right now. We need YOU to become a monthly sustainer. We're asking folks to sign up to give $20/month. Every dollar helps so whatever you can do, we’ll be grateful. Every dollar will be put to good use fighting corporate landlords and making corporations pay their taxes just like the rest of us.

  • 🐝 Across the state our communities are watching in horror as families are pushed into homelessness at unprecedented rates - many becoming unhoused for the first time in their lives. Alameda and Contra Costa counties saw homelessness increase 43% in just two years. Sacramento - 52%. San Francisco - 30%. Los Angeles County - 12%. In the next two weeks, ACCE is gearing up to win a statewide bill that stops outrageous rent increases and unfair evictions. The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (Assembly Bill 1482) needs to face both the state Senate floor and the Assembly concurrence votes by September 13th, and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to help us get there. We're ramping up our biggest campaigns yet to fight displacement, rent gouging and unfair evictions across California - but we can’t do it without you. To succeed we need people and money.

  • STOP THE EVICTION! ACCE Sacramento Member Marisa and her family are facing an unfair and no-cause eviction that could put them on the streets! The family has always paid their rent on time and been responsible tenants - but when they started to ask for legal documentation for the unexplained high fees they were getting - the landlord retaliated with an eviction! Urge her landlord, Harninder Nijjer to drop the eviction and work with the family to keep them in their homes! You can call the landlord at the link in our bio or see the info here: Landlord: Harninder Nijjer 408-355-5438 (based in San Jose) Sample script: Hi, my name is ______ I’m calling on behalf of your tenant Marisa Brambila and her three children who have lived in their home in Rancho Cordova for nearly three years. The family has always paid their rent on time and an eviction like this will put the family onto the streets and into homelessness. I urge you to stop the eviction and work with the family to find a solution that allows them to stay in their home! Please do the right thing and keep the family in their home and drop the eviction! . . . #rent #renting #rentcontrol #rentcontrolnow #justcause #organize #peoplepower #keepfamilieshome

  • When families are charged SO MUCH of their income on rent, it forces parents to work overtime - leaving kids without a parent at home, or without a home at all. For kids, the consequences of this aren't just sad, they're long lasting. We need to pass #AB1482, strong rent control and tenant protections not just to #KeepFamiliesHome, but because our collective future depends on it. . . . . #housing #rentcap #rent #renting #rentcontrolnow #rentcontrol #housingcrisis #affordablehousing #housingisahumanright #organize #peoplepower #powernotpanic #keepfamiliestogether #

  • We’re building #tenantpower by winning $12M to put homes into #landtrusts making them permanently affordable and in community control! When the housing crisis is shaking the roots of our communities we are standing firm and fighting back. ACCE leader Norma Sanchez could have walked away after her landlord increased her rent $1300 in one fell swoop. But she didn’t, she organized, fought a year long campaign with ACCE leaders, @oakclt and her neighbors and now she owns her home! We can not afford to be anything short of visionary right now - #landtrusts are the solution!

  • MAJOR VICTORY! ACCE Oakland has worked closely with the Oakland Community Land Trust for several years on taking homes entirely off the private speculative market  and making them permanently affordable and in community control. Monday night we had a major breakthrough when city council passed a $12 million carve out over the next 2 years to buy more homes and put them into land trusts. This is HUGE. But this is just the beginning. Last summer, ACCE helped 6 families put their homes into the land trust after receiving a $1300 rent increase from a millionaire based in Piedmont. Rather than being displaced, the families now own their homes through @oakclt and have PERMANENT AFFORDABILITY - driving a wedge into the heart of the gentrification tearing Oakland apart. Monday's vote gives countless more families facing imminent displacement the opportunity to organize for real housing stability. Big thank you to Councilmember @nikki4oakland for championing this issue, Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan for strongly supporting, all of our members active in the budget fight, and the many others that helped make it happen along the way. #KeepFamiliesHome #housing #rentcontrolnow #housingisahumanright #california #oakland #home #rent #rentcontrol #peoplepower #organize #heretostay #keepfamiliestogether

  • Juneteenth is an annual celebration centered around the abolition of slavery. The celebration marks the date when folks who were enslaved in Texas received news about the end of the Civil War. This news wasn’t always delivered effectively. Many slavers withheld the news until after harvest. Others refused to immediately abide by the rules. Many folks who were now free chose to leave but faced uncertainty, violence, and death. Today, prison and the way many of us view Black and brown people are still remnants of slavery, colonization, and white supremacy. However, we won’t let the continued violence and degradation stop us from celebrating our progress and resiliency. Today we honor those who came before us and those who are working alongside of us. We celebrate our successes, our love, and our potential. #Juneteenth #Repost @blackbirdrevolt

  • It's been nearly 3 decades since any tenant protection bill has passed through the state, but yesterday the California Assembly passed AB 1482 to cap rents statewide by 43 votes! Next step is to move the bill through the Senate and onto Governor Newsom's desk! It is both with a sense of joy that we crossed this hurdle and frustration that it took everything we had to get to this point. As a California residents seeing double digit increases in homelessness across the state, it seems unfathomable to us that it should be this difficult for the majority of our legislators to support protecting their constituents from outrageous rent increases. As the LA Times Editorial Board clearly stated, Barring landlords from gouging tenants during a housing crisis should be an easy call for lawmakers. Tenants have more power than we've ever had before in California, but this crisis is escalating faster than we have been able to organize and we need to grow. We need to activate more renters, working families and communities of color to join the movement. We need to elect more legislators on a platform of rent control and tenant protections. We need to organize and build power in new geographies from the Central Valley to the suburbs. There was no single person, mass march or direct-action that brought the civil rights movement to it's culminating victory of the Civil Right and Voting Rights Acts. It was the collective effort of thousands of organizers, allies and regular people persistently and relentlessly taking action over the course of DECADES. The tenants rights movement is not and will not be any different. At ACCE we are dedicated to organizing door to door from the ground up to bring the voice of working people and communities of color to the halls of decision making for the long haul. We CAN prove that people power is stronger than the power of money. . . #housingisahumanright #rentcontrolnow #peoplepower #repealcostahawkins #housing #housingcrisis #rent #prop10 #yeson10 #keepfamilieshome #ab1482

That’s why tenants across California have organized to support the #KeepFamiliesHome bills - #AB1482 to stop outrageous rent increases and #AB1481 to stop unfair evictions! A handful of corporate landlords are trying to block our attempts to protect the 17 million of us that rent - but we can stop them and we can win! Email your legislator by clicking the link in our bio and urge them to support the bills! #housingisahumanright
  • Landslide victory!!! After months of precinct walking and phone banking to bring home a win for pro public school candidate @jackie4lausd, the special election team lead by Shimiki Stringer and @juancrubalcava can claim victory! The work to win this seat for Jackie started back in 2018. Lots of people contributed to the win including @laane_org @UTLA now and others! Congrats to the dedicated OG @acce_action members and the new who stood out in the rain day in and day out during the strike. All of that organizing set the stage for the win last night! . . . #TeamJackie #redfored #peoplepower #investinstudents #education

  • In California, we define ourselves by who we are and how we treat others, not by what we look like or what's in our wallets. By coming together across races and places, we have the power to make California a place we are proud to call home. But today, greedy lobbyists by the corporate landlord lobby are trying to divide us by making it impossible for many of us to afford any place to live. Meanwhile, a handful of corporate developers rig the rules to jack up our rents, build only for the wealthiest few, and hoard even more. When we go all in for every one of us, we can win common sense solutions that ensure we can all make rent while having enough to care for our families, no exceptions. It’s time for us to Keep Families Home by passing #AB1481 to protect tenants from unfair evictions and #AB1482 to stop outrageous rent increases! #keepfamilieshome

Thank you to Assemblymember David Chiu's leadership for moving this bill and standing with renters. We are ever reminded how rare it is to have tenant advocates in Sacramento.

  • We are exhausted and inspired. Two ACCE members - both mothers, one is currently homeless fighting pancreatic cancer - camped out overnight inside Governor @gavinnewsom office. Now we’re all sitting inside the hearing room waiting to hear how our legislators will vote on #AB36 and #AB1482. But whatever happens today, we are clear that the movement for rent control is not going away. Just building more housing will not save us. We need renter protections- and until we get them, the crisis will only get worse. We had 2 people overnight this year- without protections it will be 50 people next year. We will not give up.

  • Rent Control = Racial Justice. At the heart of the conversation about rent control is race. For the most part as Californians, when Trump was elected we flooded the streets, said that we were united against hate - against the deportation of immigrants, ban on muslims, attacks on communities of color. The reality is that while we are all attacked by this housing crisis, communities of color are hit hardest. The harm of displacement may not be coming at the explicit direction of Trump, but the outcome is nonetheless the same. If we say that we we are against hate, against the systematic removal of communities of color through bans or deportations, than we also need to be in support of solutions that protect communities of color staying here at risk of displacement. Waiting for the market to build more housing over the next 30 years won't do that - only rent control protects families now from rent gouging and skyrocketing rents. We must stop the bleeding, we must stabilize our communities.

  • Barbara has been displaced 4 times by rent hikes in the past 4 years and her landlords have not kept her homes up to livable standards. When greedy landlords evict tenants like Barbara it increases families’ vulnerability to homelessness. ⠀ ⠀ Barbara’s fighting for solutions that make San Diego affordable for EVERYONE, not just the wealthy few.⠀ ⠀ Ask the Mayor to protect tenants and create an Office of Tenants Protection, fund a Tenants Right to Counsel program and strengthen Just Cause Eviction policies to go into effect after 30 days. ⠀ ⠀ The Mayor is releasing his Proposed Fiscal Year 2020 Budget on April 12.

When greedy landlords evict tenants like Barbara it increases families’ vulnerability to homelessness. ⠀ ⠀ Barbara’s fighting for solutions that make San Diego affordable for EVERYONE, not just the wealthy few.⠀ ⠀ Ask the Mayor to protect tenants and create an Office of Tenants Protection, fund a Tenants Right to Counsel program and strengthen Just Cause Eviction policies to go into effect after 30 days. ⠀ ⠀ The Mayor is releasing his Proposed Fiscal Year 2020 Budget on April 12. Call or email the Mayor TODAY at: (619) 236-6330, [email protected]⠀ ⠀ #TenantsTuesday #EndDisplacement #OurCityOurBudget #Budget4All #CommunityBudgetAlliance #WeMakeThisCity
