TODAY! We’ll hear from @cd1losangeles @CW_HeatherHutt @CD13LosAngeles to discuss how our city leaders plan to address rent debt. With COVID rent debt due tomorrow, many families risk eviction & our city cannot afford to have more people on the streets! #CancelRentDebt

People can’t even afford to buy EGGS and we’re expecting folks to just magically catch up on thousands of dollars in rent debt?
Cancel. Rent. Debt. Now.
When Covid hit households, tenants fell behind on rent owe thousands in rent dent. We have another repayment deadline coming up on February 1st and if city leaders fails to act, we’ll see a surge in evictions. @LACityCouncil @MayorOfLA to Cancel the Debt to #KeepLAHoused

“On 2/1/24, many families will be faced with a deadline that they can’t meet. I have about $15k in student loans that I have been paying off for years. How do we expect tenants affected by COVID-19 to pay off their debt in a matter of months? It’s unfathomable.” -@cd1losangeles

🚨🚨🚨 THIS IS GENOCIDE
Over 2 million Palestinian people living trapped in Gaza are living through genocide in real time, as Israel horrifically bombs, starves, and displaces them.

Preventing evictions is key to preventing more people from falling into homelessness.
We hope that by providing data on eviction notices, we're providing the 1st step for policymakers to take action to protect Angelenos from an eviction crisis.

Victory! Today @LACountyBOS passed a motion to codify Right to Counsel in unincorporated areas of LA County by FY 2024-2025. It also calls for expansion of @stayhousedla for universal access to incorporated cities and unincorporated areas by 2030. When we fight, we win!
