Legislators! Families all over CA are struggling with skyrocketing rent. Half of renters are rent-burdened. A YES vote on #AB1157 to cap rent hikes at 5% would be a lifeline for millions.

We are in a state of emergency- while our families are being kidnapped & abducted, the LEAST our legislators can do is to protect us in our housing. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social solidify your legacy by ensuring that #AB1157 the #AffordableRentAct gets passed, making the rent cap permanent
January 13, 2026 at 5:56 PM
CA! #AffordableRentAct is in the Asm. Judiciary Committee TODAY. #AB1157 fights back against crushing rent hikes. Call committee members NOW! Tell them to vote YES on AB1157!

Only 0.5% of California’s budget is going to housing and homelessness programs. If we don’t fund affordable housing production, we must prevent families from being priced out of their homes in the first place. Vote YES on #AB1157!

Nearly half of California's 17 million renters spend more than 30% of their income on rent. For every 100 ppl who exited homelessness in 2024, 118 more became homeless. In a weakening economy and an ongoing housing crisis, that's unsustainable.

Hey Gov. Gavin Newsom, in your State of the State address, you said the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 was one of your proudest achievements. Now, it's time to cement your legacy and make those protections permanent! @governor.ca.gov

Please stand with California tenants and support #AB1157!

Congratulations Los Angeles tenants! This year, we've won the first update to L.A.'s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (LARSO) in 40 years. The city's annual rent increase cap just got cut in half! When we show our power, we are unstoppable!

In November, we brought the people's parade to Billionaire Row in SF. On Dec. 6, we did it again- this time in the LA and San Diego areas! 🎊✊ The 1% has bled us dry long enough —time to remind them this country belongs to the people who build it, not those who bought it. #PeopleOverBillionaires

1 out of 5 Californians can't pay their utility bills. Meanwhile, utilities are making record profits & demanding more. @californiapuc votes Dec. 18th on whether to cut these excessive profits. Sign the petition to lower bills: sc.org/CAProtectYour...

Electricity bills used to be manageable for San Diego resident and ACCE member Barbara Pinto, she recalls in this op-ed published in the Times of San Diego. That is, until her utility- San Diego Gas & Electric- decided to prioritize profits over what's best for consumers.

We all need to get on his level... and if you're in LA or San Diego you can!

Experts are clear: Small landlords would be no worse off if we #CapTheRentAt 3%.

According to an Economic Roundtable report, landlords are doing just fine because their net operating income has increased faster than inflation.

The L.A. City Council CAN help L.A.'s 1.5M rent-
November 4, 2025 at 10:17 PM
Why we CAN Cap The Rent at 3%! If the city of Los Angeles caps annual rent increases at 3%, L.A. would be in line with most cities in CA. Listen to the LA Housing Dept. & Economic Roundtable tell LA City Council Housing Committee members about how common this formula really is.
