Support Tenants' Rights at the Legislature!
|
Senator Linda Lopez is introducing two bills this 2025 legislative session: one to end the prohibition on rent control and another that would require landlords to provide receipts when tenants pay rent.
People's Housing Project is mobilizing with Albuquerque Teachers Federation & other orgs
We are very excited to hear about both these bills! There are upcoming actions from PHP to help support them:
Protest on Inauguration Day Monday, Jan. 20th at 2pm at Robinson Park: Join us in the housing contingent as we march to fight back against Trump’s Extreme Right, Billionaire Agenda!
People's Housing Project Press Conference: Saturday, January 25th at 11am in Santa Fe at the Roundhouse.
Please show up for these events if you are able. If you are a member in good standing who is interested in speaking at these events or supporting these bills, please email us at [email protected]

Our Reading Group will be starting a new book next month, Four Futures, by Peter Frase. This short but fascinating book examines possible outcomes after the inevitable fall of capitalism.
The first meeting will discuss the Introduction and chapter 1 of the book. It will take place Sunday, January 19 at 4pm at CHOMP Food Hall.

DSA depends on support from ordinary members, rather than corporate funding or grants. As we ramp up our campaigns to take on the millionaire and billionaire class in New Mexico, any donations you can provide will go a long way.
