We knew regardless of the election outcome, the working class will have to fight for better working and living conditions. Workers deserve more! We are being confronted with rising prices, rising seas, and rising violence. The only way forward is together. #Raleigh #RaleighNC – at Raleigh, NC

Anybody who opposes rent control is a class enemy of tenants. Period.

Since New Year's, the Coliseum Connections Tenants Association have fought against loss of cars, psychic & economic strain, & living cramped in hotel rooms while the landlord Michael Johnson denies responsibility. Alexa Johnson calls tenants' courage to fight back "difficult."

If only you had the authority to cancel 100% of federal student loans today with a few signatures Oh wait... you do
Families across the Nation are impacted by immense student loan debt, we’ve got to do more. I see you and @POTUS and I are fighting for you.

SICKENS me that landlords can put rent up by 20% and that's just "the market" but a wage increase of 10% is considered a greedy demand. The landlord class and the employing class are the same people and now they've normalised in-work poverty they wanna force us out of our homes

Today, as we celebrate Juneteenth, we should remember not only the struggle against chattel slavery but the struggle for radical freedom during Reconstruction — snuffed out by the reactionary forces of property and white supremacy. jacobin.com/2021/06/juneteen…
