Friend --
In the last few years, the members
of ACCE took on work that called on us to be bigger, bolder, and more
audacious than we've ever been before.
We took on the biggest Wall Street
and corporate landlords in the nation.
We put rent control and stronger
eviction protections on the ballot in Sacramento, National City, and
Oakland and supported allies in their successful fights to pass a rent
stabilization policies in Los Angeles County, Inglewood, and just
last week in Culver City.
We stopped dozens of unjust
evictions, halted huge rent increases, and organized new tenant
unions.
NOW WE’RE SO CLOSE to winning our biggest victory yet: the
Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (Assembly Bill 1482) - but we can’t do
it without you.
We've
got two days left to get 300 new sustainers to join ACCE in fighting
displacement over the long haul and passing the Tenant Protection Act
of 2019 this year!
Our family has been homeless since
2017, after we endured a wrongful eviction while I was 6 months
pregnant. My husband works every day, and yet finding a place we can
afford seems to be impossible.
We're doing everything we can to
find a home for ourselves, and for the countless families I know are
out there facing the same situation we're in. For the past year I've
gone to the capitol nearly a half dozen times to lobby my legislators,
done actions on corporate landlords, attended dozens of organizing
meetings and made countless phone calls. All of those activities
require time and money, and that is why we need your
support.
No level of support is too big or too small. Become
a sustaining donor now to stop displacement in California and keep
families in their homes!
We’ve got less than a month to
ensure AB 1482 gets passed on the Senate floor and then again in the
Assembly and ACCE is prepared to do whatever it takes to help move the
votes to make it happen. But we can’t do it without your help. From
bringing the voices of ACCE members facing rent increases, evictions
and even homelessness to Sacramento to lobby - to organizing our
allies to door-knock in legislator’s neighborhoods - this fight costs
money.
I'm doing everything I possibly can to protect my family
and win statewide renter protections. Join
me and become a monthly sustainer to ACCE now to fight displacement
across California and keep families in their homes!
In solidarity,
Gloria Cortez
