Joe Biden's admin is failing tenants. There's no real enforcement against landlords moving to evict during the federal "eviction moratorium", and some states are refusing to abide by it at all. This is why we must organize to #EndEvictions! #WeKeepUsSafe when politicians leave us behind. Speaking of ending evictions, call TNDC now to stop the eviction of Shawana Holmes and her family from their SF home. Details: https://www.facebook.com/housingrightsSF/posts/10157742059090303

Yesterday we joined San Francisco Anti-Displacement Coalition in a virtual press conference calling on Gavin Newsom and the state to make #CARentRelief accessible to residents without internet access & non-English speakers NOW! Not offering paper applications & relying on Google Translate, which leads to buttons saying "Go Back To Your Country" in Chinese for "returning applicants" = AN EPIC FAIL. More on the issue in this article: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/states-rent-relief-program-n/

Gavin Newsom, this is yet another reason why the state MUST work with tenant orgs when designing legislation for tenants! #SB91 is full of loopholes that lead to eviction & its #CARentRelief program (shamefully relying on Google translate) is full of discriminatory barriers impacting immigrants & seniors. Thus, a program supposedly designed to help those most in need is actually leaving them out. #EndEvictions #CancelRent #CancelDebt!!! https://www.sfpublicpress.org/states-rent-relief-program-n/

#YesOnI SF folks!

Tell your peeps to vote Yes on this crucial measure!

Angela Davis shouts out The Plaza 16 Coalition / La Plaza 16 Coalición and the fight for 100% affordable housing! Let's keep fighting for these types of wins all over the city!!! From our friend Jacqueline Sirenita: "The story and the work does not end with the Marvel in the Mission (after defeating the Monster!), and in the spirit of the powerful energy from Angela Davis, as much as the radiance of this sunshine over Occupied Ohlone Territory, we must acknowledge and honor t...hat the work of Plaza 16 Coalition has been carried and energized predominantly by mujeres and femme labor. These times of uncertainly call for us to lead with heart, with passion, creativity just as much as the sharpness and wisdom that is passed down to us through the organizing hxstory of SF and the Bay. Thank you Jobs with Justice San Francisco for an incredible 10 year anniversary celebration, thank you soo soo much for continuing to lift up the work of the Plaza!"
