Friend --
The ACCE’s movement for justice and equity is making steady
progress, thanks to the
support of people like you.
Giving Today is one of the best days of the year to
renew your support of our movement.
What will your generous gift support? Here are a few highlights of our work from just the
past couple months:
- In a major victory in the fight for strong tenant protections, the
Los Angeles City Council approved a tenant anti-harassment ordinance
(TAHO) in June 2021!
- Oakland ACCE ran a budget campaign that successfully moved about
$50M into funding critical community services - including funding
workforce development in flatland neighborhoods, investing in city
services from litter abatement and park clean up, strengthening
violence prevention programs, bolstering non-police mental health
support programs, and increasing support for Meals on Wheels service
for seniors.
- More San Diego tenants at risk of eviction will be able to access
legal services and counseling thanks to $15 million in funding the
Board of Supervisors approved in its budget in June. The funding is
part of $650 million in federal stimulus money dedicated to helping
San Diegans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- After over a year of grassroots organizing across the entire state
of California to #CancelRent, on Monday, June 28th the California
legislature passed AB 832, effectively allowing rent debt for most
tenants and landlords to be paid off by the state. All of
it.
On behalf of all of us at ACCE, we thank you for your generous
support and your continued interest in our movement. Together, we can
– and we will – make a difference.
With gratitude,
ACCE Action
