🎉 VICTORY!
In a unanimous vote, Passaic stabilizes rents at 3% and becomes the 5th city in NJ to eliminate vacancy decontrol! This new housing ordinance will impact more than 10,000 tenants, nearly half of the city’s renter population.

📢 Did you know? Passaic’s proposed housing ordinance would stabilize rents at 3%.
That means thousands of families can stay in their homes without the fear of sudden rent hikes.
The ordinance has to pass ONE MORE VOTE! Join us TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND at 6:30PM at Passaic City Hall!

🏠 Did you know? Passaic’s proposed housing ordinance ends vacancy decontrol, a loophole that lets landlords hike rents when tenants move out.
This ordinance would protect thousands of families from displacement.
Let’s finish the fight!

It found that over 30M households could be protected by expanded rent control policies.
It’s time for rent control nationwide!

Really happy to have had my modest contribution on the legal context for rent control included in this incredible resource from PolicyLink. I truly believe that tenant organizers and housing justice wonks and lawyers will be citing this report for years to come.

Instead of investing in housing or addressing record homelessness, Sec. Turner is helping terrorize immigrant communities while spreading misinformation about his own agency’s programs.

There is no other way to put it: Mahmoud Khalil’s illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration is horrific.

I’m incredibly disappointed in the Senate’s vote to pass Republicans’ partisan spending bill.
Democrats should not be complicit in giving a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk.
Fighting back for the American people is the only way forward.
