Mice. Insects. Lead pipes. No air in the summer. No heat in the winter.

Chronic
underfunding and poor oversight from the federal government has left too
many families living in unsafe, inhumane public housing conditions without
the power to do something about it.

As the daughter of a tenant’s rights organizer, Ayanna proudly unveiled
the Tenant Empowerment Act last week, alongside Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep.
Maxine Waters, and housing justice advocates.

The Tenant Empowerment Act is bold, sweeping legislation that will help
build tenant power to hold the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) and neglectful landlords accountable for poor housing conditions.

name to become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Tenant Empowerment Act and
help put power back in the hands of tenants to improve their living
conditions?

For generations, intentional policy choices have resulted in unsafe,
unsanitary public housing conditions that lack sufficient hot water,
reliable heat, or a roof that keeps out the rain and snow.

What’s more, Black and brown renters disproportionately develop chronic
health conditions due to hazards such as mold, allergens, lead, and poor
air quality.

We all deserve to live with dignity in clean, comfortable, and stable
housing — and HUD-assisted tenants have a right to organize and demand it.

The Tenant Empowerment Act will advance justice and equity in our housing
policy, center the fair treatment of tenants, and increase housing
stability for millions of people — but we need to leverage the full power
of our movement to get it passed.

Empowerment Act now to help build tenant power and put pressure on the
federal government to improve public housing conditions.

Thank you,

The A-Team
