John,

Predatory investors are buying up homes, jacking up rents, and cashing in on our struggle to survive. Sign the petition: housing for humans, NOT for profit!

These billionaire investors treat homes like stock portfolios. But homes aren’t assets—they’re where our families sleep, where our kids grow up, where we build community. I live in Boston, where institutional investors bought 1 in 5 of all homes sold in the city in 2022. These corporate interests have dramatically changed my neighborhood.

And it’s not just my city; it’s a nationwide problem:

Predatory billionaire investors have bought up a HUGE share of single-family homes, apartment buildings, and mobile home parks
They raise rents or hold properties vacant, waiting to make money on appreciation, extracting more money from residents or excluding tenants outright
They do it with zero accountability

Every day, more working people are being forced out of the neighborhoods we serve. We cook the food, clean the hospitals, stock the shelves—and still can’t afford to live near where we work.

On top of that, homelessness is growing—even though in most communities, vacant homes outnumber unhoused people several times over. People can’t afford to pay these rent prices, not on our poverty wages and with no social safety net! It’s just another example of how unchecked billionaire greed has made life harder for everyday people like you and me.

Corporations keep finding new ways to exploit us, but we’re building the power we need to fight back. Join us and sign the petition to ban predatory billionaire investors from housing—and reinvest in truly affordable, community-controlled homes.

In solidarity,
