The last thing we need is more evictions.
Tell Congress to protect the 30-day eviction notice standard & oppose the so-called “Respect State Housing Laws Act.”

Millions of renters in federally subsidized housing rely on the 30-day eviction notice rule to avoid homelessness and remain stably housed. But the so-called “Respect State Housing Laws Act” (H.R.802/S.3755) would strip away that modest safeguard, worsening our country’s already critical housi...

🏈 Scott Turner’s HUD Playbook is Full of Bad Calls! Trump’s pick for HUD Secretary, Scott Turner, has a track record that shows he’s playing for Team Profit—not the people:
❌ Supported a bill allowing landlords to refuse tenants with federal housing assistance.
❌ Opposed expanding affordable rental housing.
❌ Called government assistance “one of the most destructive things for the family.”

📢 It’s time to demand better: Tell your Rep to reject Scott Turner for HUD!
🏠 Housing is a human right—not a game.

…what if we had green social housing for all ✨as a treat✨?

Housing is in a national crisis- and and are doing something about it! They’re introducing the creation of a Social Housing Development Authority (SHDA) to build green social housing for our communities. No matter where you live, you know that one lot that always stays vacant? The SHDA would convert that and other distressed spaces into housing, and ensure community members have the first right to purchase a home- not corporate landlords.

We see a future where everyone has access to permanently available social housing🏡. Contact your rep to sign on to the Social Housing Development Authority today at our link in bio!

✊🏿 🏡 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🔦 Daffany Payne,
"Daffany, a mother of 7 who got fed up with her unlivable housing situation, contacted ACO, and began organizing her neighbors for better living conditions. Daffany led a group of tenant members who advocated for people in 6 complexes that were owned by the North Little Rock Housing Authority and are now under private ownership and management.

The tenant led advocacy and action has won repairs. Though she has since relocated, she continues her advocacy and dedication to advancing renter's rights in Arkansas and making sure that conditions in those 6 complexes continue to improve."

Each week we will be uplifting the incredible from tenants all across the country. Because when we organize, we WIN! 🔥

📣 This week we have the incredible: Victoria Ramos,

"Victoria has been one of the stronger voices in our local campaign looking for dignified, and affordable housing justice. Victoria and other women in her building decided to unionize in August 2022.

The Wethersfield tenants Union has been challenging their new landlord since then. Victoria is always alert, strategic, and very vocal about all the tenants union members' rights. Victoria is the leader everyone wants to follow, she is constantly thinking ahead.

She is a wonderful human being leading through her struggle to win with all the Hartford tenants as a Union. Like her name she is always looking for VICTORY."
