Californians have seen power bills skyrocket – @energyandpolicy new tool shows that up to 25% of bills are going straight to utility executives & Wall Street pockets. We deserve a break from crushing utility bills. It’s time for utility profit reform energyandpolicy.org/utilityprofitt…

Another Community #MediCal Town Hall in the books! Thanks to the work of our event co-hosts @CalOrganize and @midcitycan, 50 community members turned out on Thursday night in Imperial Beach to learn more about changes to Medi-Cal and how we're fighting against cuts to our care.

@stayhousedla we cannot delay this service any longer. Every tenant SHLA keeps from becoming unhoused saves our community money. And the best way to prevent homelessness is to keep people housed!

Save @stayhousedla! ACCE Los Angeles joined tenants, community members and CM Eunisses Hernandez to urge the City Council to extend SHLA's services contract providing crucial legal advice for tenants facing eviction. In a city where a majority of residents- 64%- are renters,

Reinvest in San Ysidro! ACCE San Ysidro members recently took a community walk to shine a light on neighborhood concerns. We're committed to working toward improving our streets, addressing public safety and vacant spaces- so we can build a San Ysidro to be proud of!

Great work from ACCE L.A. and United to House LA! We showed up in HUGE numbers to beat back a flawed attempt to gut L.A.'s mansion tax. But this battle isn't over. The proposal goes to committee, and we will show up again to save the People's Billion! latimes.com/california/sto…

The SacBee is calling out the 5 assemblymembers who couldn't even be bothered to vote on AB 1157, the #AffordableRentAct: @AsmPacheco, @AsmDianePapan, @Stefani4CA, @RickChavezZbur, and @BauerKahan. Ridiculous that we have to remind these elected officials how to do their jobs and who they ACTUALLY represent: their constituents, NOT the corporate landlords. sacbee.com/opinion/articl…

We are in a state of emergency- while our families are being kidnapped & abducted, the LEAST our legislators can do is to protect us in our housing. @GavinNewsom solidify your legacy by ensuring that #AB1157 the #AffordableRentAct gets passed, making the rent cap permanent.

Legislators! Families all over CA are struggling with skyrocketing rent. Half of renters are rent-burdened. A YES vote on #AB1157 to cap rent hikes at 5% would be a lifeline for millions. We are counting on you! @RobertRivas_CA @AsmStefani @AsmConnolly @rickchavezzbur

CALIFORNIA! The rent is TOO HIGH! The #AffordableRentAct is in the Asm. Judiciary Committee TODAY. #AB1157 fights back against crushing rent hikes. Call committee members NOW! Tell them to vote YES on AB1157! @GavinNewsom @RobertRivas_CA @AsmStefani @AsmConnolly @rickchavezzbur

Only 0.5% of CA's budget is going to housing and homelessness programs. If we don’t fund affordable housing, we must prevent families from being priced out of housing in the 1st place. Vote YES on #AB1157! @GavinNewsom @RobertRivas_CA @AsmStefani @AsmConnolly @rickchavezzbur

Rent hikes are fueling this crisis. We need the CA Legislature to pass the #AffordableRentAct to pass historic rent caps and keep families housed across California. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom @RobertRivas_CA @AsmStefani @AsmConnolly @rickchavezzbur #AB1157 #LowerTheRent 2/2

Nearly half of California's 17 million renters spend more than 30% of their income on rent. For every 100 ppl who exited homelessness in 2024, 118 more became homeless. In a weakening economy and an ongoing housing crisis, that's unsustainable. 1/2

@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom @RobertRivas_CA @AsmStefani @AsmConnolly @RickChavezZbur "Our family members are getting kidnapped everyday in the streets," said Edgar. "We need state legislators to step up and support our community and vote yes on AB 1157." #LowerTheRent 3/3

@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom @RobertRivas_CA @AsmStefani @AsmConnolly @RickChavezZbur Richmond ACCE member and tenant Edgar Valenzuela says he and his family has gotten a rent increase this year of 8% and last year, 10%. He says it's increasingly difficult to pay rent and have to deal with the constant threat of deportation. 2/3
