WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR: / ¿POR QUÉ LUCHAMOS?

AB1157 THE AFFORDABLE RENT ACT will amend the 2019 Tenant Protection Act (TPA) in three ways:/ AB1157 – LA LEY DE RENTA ASEQUIBLE propone enmendar la Ley de Protección al Inquilino (TPA) de 2019 de tres maneras:

Limit allowable annual rent increases to inflation to 5%. Current law sets the limit at a maximum of 10%. / Limitar los aumentos anuales de alquiler permitidos a la inflación hasta un máximo del 5%. Actualmente, la ley permite hasta un 10%.

Cover renters living in single family homes by removing the TPA’s exemption for most single-family homes. /Incluir a los inquilinos que viven en casas unifamiliares, eliminando la exención de la TPA para la mayoría de estas viviendas.

Make the Tenant Protection Act (TPA) permanent, by removing the 2030 sunset./ Hacer permanente la Ley de Protección al Inquilino (TPA), eliminando su fecha de vencimiento en 2030.

According to research from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9% increase in homelessness./ Según investigaciones de la Oficina de Responsabilidad Gubernamental de EE.UU., un aumento de $100 en el alquiler medio se asocia con un aumento del 9% en la falta de vivienda.

In 2024, for every 100 people who exited homelessness, 118 more entered into homelessness, revealing how our current system is failing to address the root causes of this emergency./ En 2024, por cada 100 personas que salieron de la falta de vivienda, 118 más entraron, lo que revela cómo nuestro sistema actual no aborda las causas profundas de esta emergencia.

Say No to Wellpath!
2025-05-16 14:00 - 15:00
Thank you for your concern about medical care in Alameda County Jail. The next important step in the process is a joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors’ Health and Public Protection Committees on Friday May 16th at 2 PM. This is an opportunity for community advocates to demand that the Supervisors bring a motion to the full Board to explore alternatives to Wellpath, the current for-profit medical provider. Presentations by the Sheriff and the General Service Administration will be followed by discussion by the Supervisors and public comments.

Right of Return Pilgrimage
2025-06-08 08:00 - 17:00
On Sunday, June 8, 2025, we will journey 22 miles from Alameda to Berkeley, retracing in reverse last year’s pilgrimage route. This distance mirrors the path from Rafah to Gaza City, taken in prayerful solidarity with those displaced by violence and war. Our pilgrimage is part of the global Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimages movement, which continues to grow in power and spirit.
We will gather as people of diverse faiths, cultures, and communities who believe in the sacredness of life, dignity, and shared well-being.
We are organizing this pilgrimage because the violence funded by U.S. tax dollars in Gaza is not separate from the violence our communities experience here — through systems of incarceration, family separation, displacement, and criminalization that target immigrants, Indigenous people, unsheltered neighbors, trans and BIPOC communities.
