Friend --
We need your help TODAY to freeze rents in LA County in the wake of the recent devastating wildfires.
South Los Angeles Assembly Member Isaac Bryan has introduced Assembly Bill 246, which would establish a temporary freeze on rent increases in LA County during this crisis period. The bill is scheduled for a critical vote in the Assembly Judiciary Committee TOMORROW MORNING (Tuesday, March 4th). <[link removed]>
Why This Matters:
- Rents in LA County were already unaffordable BEFORE the fires
- The wildfires have destroyed housing and created even more competition for remaining units
- Without a freeze, landlords can exploit the disaster by hiking rents to unaffordable levels
- Families are facing impossible choices between temporary housing, rebuilding, and covering basic needs

Calling Script:
"Hi, I am calling to urge Assemblymember [LEGISLATOR NAME] to vote YES on Assemblymember Isaac Bryan's bill for a temporary rent freeze in LA County following the recent devastating fires - Assembly Bill 246.
Rents were already sky-high before the fires. The high cost of living is ridiculous compared to incomes, and housing is a big part of this problem.
In LA County, the fires have made a dire housing crisis even worse, with more people competing for even fewer housing options. Too many landlords will take advantage of this situation and make a bad situation worse. Now is not the time to be raising the cost of rental homes even higher!"
