Got an eviction notice? BREATHE 🌬️. Only a judge can evict you. An eviction is a legal process & you have the right to defend yourself at every step 🏠. If you are facing an eviction of rent increase join our weekly meetings to learn how to negotiate, and organize. #MAHousingRights #CLVU 🧡💚

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

🧵Landlord not fixing the heat in your home? You have the right to be warm! #MA state law requires landlords heat your home to at least 64ºF at night and 68ºF during the day from September 15 to May 31. If a landlord does not provide heat REPORT IT TO your local inspectional services department.
