Rockville (like Gaithersburg) is not covered by Montgomery County’s rent stabilization law, and renters are struggling to keep up. Thank you to City Councilmember @izola4progress for fighting for the nearly half of Rockville residents who are renters. wusa9.com/article/news/l…

Please join our partners at @RacialJsticeNow at this important event.  All are welcome on Friday, September 27 and the Saturday, September 28 session is intended for persons of African Descent/Pan-African/Member of the African Diaspora.

The City of Rockville community deserves protection from those who price gouge and raise the cost of living.

Everyone deserves a safe and dignified place to live. Today's enactment of the Tenant Safety Act marks a significant stride towards realizing this fundamental right for all.

50+ advocates headed out to Annapolis on a gloomy day to champion HB1117, the Tenant Safety Act & HB477, Good Cause Act! These bills are crucial renter protection measures that ensure safety & stability for MD families. #ProtectRenters #mdga24 #HousingJustice

This week, I presented Good Cause Eviction (HB 477) to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. We’re running out of time - let’s get Good Cause done! Urging the committee to move favorable and bring to the Senate floor!

Last weekend, I led a renter listening event. I’m grateful to the renters who shared their stories with us at the door, and later with City Hall. We must create policies that work to achieve housing stability for all City residents. Let's pass rent stabilization! #HousingJustice

Thank you to @ypforprogress for coming to our February branch meeting to talk about banning consent searches in MoCo & restorative justice in MCPS. We also heard from candidates for branch steering and got updates on rent stabilization regulations and Palestine organizing.

Thank you @BrianneKNadeau for meeting /JUFJers from Ward 1 last night & discussing our shared issue priorities like fair taxes, revenue raisers, rent control, & affordable childcare. We look forward to continuing to work toward a more just DC together. We’ll see you on Tuesday!

With more tenants organizing and demanding repairs for safe living conditions, landlords have retaliated with unjust and discriminatory lease non-renewals. We thank Housing Justice Champion, Del. Wilkins for protecting families! Check out the Op-Ed: shorturl.at/sAIS3

The other day, I was at an event & someone told me what a great job I’m doing answering tough questions! I was mistaken again for @PressSec! Wonderful to meet @K_JeanPierre and pass on the compliment. What do y’all think? Any resemblance? 😆 📍White House

The Menstrual Products Access and Equity Act received strong public support at the public hearing last week. This bill is an important step forward in menstrual health in our County.

In July, The Montgomery County Council passed a permanent county-wide rent stabilization bill. Moments ago, they passed a special appropriation bill 24-14, allocating $1,374,470 to DHCA to fund and implement it.

Tomorrow 12/12, the Council will hold a public hearing for my bill, 42-23 "Menstrual Products Access and Equity Act" followed by a press conference with advocates and key organizations. Access to menstrual products is a public health need.
